"I'd raise $300 back to encourage a bad call."

Pretty close. I actually re-raised him $250. And he made the bad call. A jack fell on the turn. He pushed. I felt like puking. At that point, I knew I was beat but I'd already committed half my stack so I made an equally bad call. He showed me AK.

Pushing to his flop min-reaise probably would have forced him to fold and won me the pot -- that's why I was wondering if anybody else pushes in that situation.

Thanks for everyones input.
