NegativeEV --

Thanks. A couple of questions.

(1) What would a push re-raise signify -- i.e., what hands would you do it with? Wouldn't it scream AA or KK? To be honest, I think I was rather hoping for a call, no ace on the flop, and presumably a flop push by me. The larger question, I guess, is do you play your KK for the 300 in the pot, or try for a higher chance of more?

(2) I don't think a lower pair -- say, TT -- should call my re-raise in hopes of flopping a set. Even with the chance of getting the rest of my stack -- which I agree they would get -- they still are betting 350 for a total pot of 1300 or so (my 1000 and the 300 already in), with the expectation of having to hit a set on the flop to win it. Those don't seem like good set odds to me, which I thought had to be at *minimum* 10:1.
