I actually had a read on UTG here. He's a fairly loose player preflop and limps a lot and minraises a lot, and he's on the aggressive side postflop. Not insane, but he raises a lot of flops and bets a lot of rivers.

Is this a pretty clear push? I felt like it was a spot where I could fold (weak but I'd still have chips to make second or third pretty safely especially since the other two players on the bubble were quite timid), I could push because I've likely got the best hand against an aggressive player, or I could call and see if another diamond falls. I'll post my action and results tomorrow.

Thanks guys. I actually played this about the worst way possible and just called his raise. The ugly K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] fell on the turn, he pushed and I called, and he showed K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] for trips and a rivered boat. I don't think he would have folded to a push on the flop considering his exact cards, but pushing definitely seems like the right move. Thanks!
