Re: Great Knockout-- Did I have Any Choice?
I disagree with the open push.
Most likely result of that move is that I get called by smaller pair from a short stack. Or simply steal the pot. And if it's earlier in table than one of the big stacks, might get a second caller playing pot odds.
Whereas the likely result of the bet I made is a call with another Ace-hand (which happened, of course) or perhaps a smaller pair. I can still get out of that hand after the flop. I couldn't if I opened with a push.
Having said that, i think you are right about my call post QQ pushing-- at that point it was as likely that big stack had an ace with a smaller kicker-- suited-- as it was that he had AKsuited.
