The sick results
That's what I thought. I figured it's one of three scenarios here:
a) He has a pretty crappy hand that will fold to a raise. I may only get more money from this hand if he outflops me, so I might as well get him to fold right now.
b) He has a reasonable hand like AK or TT that will call here but might escape post-flop. I'd like to get the money in right now and run it.
c) He has a big hand like QQ/KK/AA and it doesn't really matter since all the money's going in either now or later unless just maybe he has QQ and the flop is AKx.
So I pushed. He called immediately.
Flop KKx. Turn x. River J. He, of course, had pocket Jacks. Oh well.
Of course it wouldn't change the outcome any, but I was thinking that maybe there was some rationale to just calling pre-flop since he'll perhaps auto-bet his last 600 w/ some hands that might fold to a raise.
