I think I can call to conserve for when I miss or just push to maximize FE, although it does not seem as villain is going anywhere.

I'm all-in. I want to see all five cards, and don't want to be out of position hoping to hit the flop with a 245ish pot in front of me.

Call. Sucks to have a bit in OOP. Reraise looks pretty scary, but no worries, it's the 11's so chances are it's a flip. I call, and if a K or A comes, I c/r all in. If flop is check, check, I push any turn. No K or A, I reluctantly to let this go.

I don't like the turn push. Everything else looks right.

Why would you take (most likely) the bad side of a flip so early??? It's not like an MTT where you want to build up a lot at first off small edges!! See the flop, let it go if needs be, and you still have FE if you don't hit. Villian isn't folding, so this push seems -EV to me.

I love learning.

I change my mind and adopt rbear's line.

You at least lead out any turn, right?? Think a push is too strong though. Yea, you're right, lead out turn half pot.

Yep... sorry for not clarifying. I think a push is second to ~half pot. Both look suspicious, push is harder to call, 1/2 pot bet is cheaper.

In a $10 I think just pushing is fine, not to maximize FE so much, but to get calls from lots of preposterous hands. Still I think I prefer calling. If an Ace or King comes and the flop looks pretty safe, I would probably check/call flop and check/raise all-in on the turn. If it looks drawy I would just lead, or check/raise all-in right on the flop.
If no Ace or King comes, I check/fold flop, or if it's checked through &amp; the turn is not something like a Q or J, probably half-potting it. If he calls turn though I'm not bluffing the river again.
