What was your read on the button? (what's he flat calling with here?)
His flat call, along with the AI, makes me think if I hit a pair, it may be no good anyhow.
That, and you are not closing the PF action, although with button involved, the BB has to have a very good hand to raise here.
I think too often you make your hand, only to be second best.
I do saliviate at the size of the pot vs. the cost of entering the pot though.
Interesting spot.
I think I'd rather flop an OESD than a pair so I'd have a handfull of live outs if my push gets called.
