Results and Thoughts
During the hand I pushed for the following reasons. There are lots of mdae hands im ahead of. Specifically, AQ/AA/KK/KQ are hands I can see a lot. I think that's probably not the best course of action. I let the made hands I'm beating off the hook while only getting called by hands that crush me, or combo hands I'm about even money with. Which, while not the end of the world isn't ideal either. I also thought at the time that with so many scare cards there was potential for me to get pushed off the best hand on the turn or river.
Thinking about it though, I don't think that's the case. If he has a made hand its hard for him to bet scare cards if I just call the flop raise because it looks like I'm on the draw. I think the best play is to call the flop, lead non dangerous turns, and check fold most scare cards.
Oh, villain thought for a while and then turned over K10 of spades for the nuts. Slow rollers are the scum of the earth.
