Why do people say stuff like this? They don't want discussion of the obviously-misplayed part of the hand but they don't want to hear some reinforcement of what is a very obvious push with a pair and a flush draw. Yes the push on the flop is completely fine, I think, especially since there is 400 in the pot if he folds. I think leading out here is just fine too.

Well because I knew it WAS the wrong play. If you want to discuss the preflop call thats fine but I already knew that answer.

When I got caught speeding I told the officer I didn't want to hear anything about the ticket I just expected to be congratulated on wearing my seat belt.

Well if the preflop is obvious to you should the postflop not be equally obvious?

I'm not sure about Roland's ablility, but preflop is obvious to me. Postflop, while somewhat obvious, is definitely not equally obvious to me.

Maybe that was too far of me to think the two are equally obvious but I will say that C/Ring all-in with a pair and a flush draw is second nature to me, and probably most cash game players.

Pushing likely coinflips versus pot committing raises early in a SNG is poor play imo.
