Re: KTo is the nuts! (Party 500k hand)
 

I don't think I'm pushing unless he had less than 10 big blinds, since I would probably be priced in to a reraise if I made a standard raise. Pushing makes no sense whatsoever here in my opinion.

Does he know that? Your standard move up until now has been push. You know it's because of their stack sizes. So when they get out of a range where you think it makes sense to push, you don't push anymore. But if for them, if they still think you would push if you're trying to steal, a min raise might look especially strong.

We're basically going back and forth here. When I see good players min raise I play cautiously, and I know a lot of other guys on 2+2 do the same. Since this guy is observant, I am assuming he's somewhat competent, so I am assuming he would be cautious of a min raise also. This is why I would not call. If you don't think he is thinking like that, then it might make sense to call.

Well, my thinking was as follows:

He knows I'm raising any 2 here. He doesn't know to what amount. He also knows that I know that he knows that I am raising any 2, which means that if he pushes, I have a wide calling range, because he has an even wider pushing range.

Given the fact that I was (at least trying to) running the table over, I can't see how he is folding any decent hand here, regardless of my min-raise.
