I absolutely hate this line. You're not getting called by anything you're ahead of. Your best bet is Ax of hearts calling you, and you're not very far ahead of that hand. Pushing folds hands you beat and spews your stack into someone with a hand.

Do you really think someone calls you with AT here? That's about the best you can hope for.

I bet about T200 here. While it's too small a bet, if no one has anything they want to play with, it's as effective in picking up the pot as anything else.

This is the play. This hand is about keeping the pot small, until you know where you stand. Betting ~400 leaves us with ~980 in chips. That's pretty damn pot committed, if our flop bet gets called and we go into the turn with a pot of ~1250 or so.

If you bet 200 and get pushed into, you can get away from this hand, depending on your reads. If you bet 200 and get called, and the turn blanks, you can bet him off the hand - with an ~800 pot and an ~1150 stack.

Bet 200. Play poker on the turn.
