AKs pushes small stack

[meleader2]

i wondered immensely why this guy checked. i can't remember his stats, but i'm sure it was marginal (20-30% vp$ip). i laughed after he won and asked why he checked to begin with, like i'd fold to his small stack.

Was this a good push? I think so. Flame it up.

Not a bad push, but I don't think it would have been a good call if he pushed (even if he was small stacked). What hand would you have put him on that you're ahead of?
