Default Re: super push

Although this play is standard...I'm wondering if it should be.

I see your opponent's range as AA, KK, QQ, AQ and AhKh, hell he could even have AhQh or KhQh.

Your 1st raise on the flop is obviously correct, as opponent could have any 2cards and be c-betting, so you have folding equity. After his reraise though...I suggest that you have very little folding equity and are not in a too strong situation:

Best case sinario, he has KK, no heart and all your 15 outs are good, and you're about a coinflip, however, there are a lot of hands in his range that have you crushed (against AhQh, you have only 7 outs, and he still then has redraw outs).

So, maybe pushing ISN'T best, but having said that, calling and missing on the turn sucks!

Also, I dont really like calling this hand from quite early position preflop, but we'll put that down to the liquid!
