Results! well, he didn\'t have AA...
Well, you all are smarter than me!
All I could think about when I saw this bet was a thread I read yesterday about people open-pushing with aces to "see if it works"... and I really didn't want to be the dolt who calls with something other than AA.
Also -- drexah hit the nail on the head -- with a proper bankroll, I probably make the call. I wasn't "trying to get out of the kiddie pool", or "taking a shot"... I do play at this level, and I actually HAVE the BR for this game, but I just deposited two buy-ins on Empire because I felt like playing it last night. This isn't a long-term thing. (Needless to say, despite the fact that I folded QQ here, it was a pretty profitable hour or so...)
Anyway, my QQ hit the muck after about 20 seconds of agonizing, and my opponent promptly showed me his hole cards...

Chalk one up for the fish, I guess.
Nice hand.

EDIT: To address all of the confusion -- yes, it's heads-up and he's already all-in. When I said "push", I could have just said "call".. but I like "push or fold" more than "call or fold". Same thing.
