Re: Taking on the big stack
eeeeeeep.
This situation is borderline:
I'd push preflop if your stack was 300-400 lower. As it is now, you are right on the fringe (10x BB). You are close to push/fold, but you may not be there yet. I tend to like pushing--but this can go either way. You will probably only get called by a better hand--but hopefully no one will have a better hand [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].
On the flop, push. This is about a coinflip. Going with your read, you are usually going to be in a much better spot than this against this particular big stack. He happened to get a very good flop for his hand.
You played this fine, consider this a push preflop if you had slightly less chips.
