Good fold on the flop, but I probably push preflop.

Um, quite a standard fold postflop. It's early and someone has an ace.

Or you could pull the classic "There is an ace on the board, but I have Kings, the second best hand preflop, so I must push."

I see that one often.

I think with 3 other players calling a preflop raise, this is a pretty standard fold.

Don't you think that's letting the PFR off pretty easily? Pushing 50BBs at this point preflop is playing pretty scared poker.

How is calling better?

I call here everytime too. Of course if an A hits, you have to let it go. But, if the flop comes J or Q high, you know you are breaking someone.

I'd guess he's talking about the other option of raising to 350-400 instead of pushing, which is what I'd do the majority of the time...

Exactly. Especially in lower buy-ins, people go crazy with top pair, regardless of kickers. You'd be surprised how many times you can take out Q-10 on a Q-7-4 flop here.
