Default Re: Questionable push, $5.50

Yeah I realize that this would kinda suck against normal opponents. What do you think would be my play against an unknown push (of that size) had MP not flat-called my raise in between?

The issue at hand is the dead chips in the pot, your read, and the super big stack. Your hand range for villain is pretty wide. Assuming you are able to isolate, you're getting 2.56:1 pot odds to do so. I'm very certain that AQ is profitable with those odds. So your only real issue is pushing out the super bigstack. FWIW, I don't even know if it matters. AQ is likely ahead of his hand anyway. If he had something better than AQ, he would have reraised preflop. Therefore, if he does call, you're playing for two pots, in that you can lose to shorty, but beat the bigstack, and still have a workable stack. But if you win both, you're in great shape.
