insta-push.. i smell a draw the whole way.

given his position.. if he draws out.. its ok.. because chances are you have some of, if not 3/5ths of his total outs.. he is puting you to the test on a raggy flop.

Insta-push is not a good play for this hand. You are either 50/50 (or even worse) with a big draw or totally destroyed Vs a set or bigger overpair.

If you think you have the best hand, then call the raise, and if the turn blanks, then push, but if it comes with a [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] then check/fold (probably check/fold to an Ace too).

This shades the odds in your favour if villain does have a big draw, as he will be a significant underdog if the turn blanks, and you have already made up your mind to pay off a better hand.
It has a 2nd advantage that you *might* get KK to fold.
