I stopped investing in poker books and bought a new luckbox and found myself in the situation below. How do I maximize for value, I wanted to push to force out flush draws, but 800 chips into a 75 chip pot...seemed like a less than optimal move. Should I think more like 150, or was my pot-sized-ish raise ok? Converter misses it, but SB leads again on the turn for 65 and I push, get 2 callers. The guy who shrewdly slow-played AA was pissed [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
