Hypothetical AK Situation

[bawcerelli]

at the lower levels i'm pushing. if i got the balls to play a higher buy in, i'd flat call and try to play the flop. we have position here. what's wrong with folding a wiffed flop if bet into? still have 1200 chips. i'm a pu$$y though.

This is the easiest push ever (and one of the things HoH2 gets right.)

Come on, he doesn't raise 88/KQs/AJ? Of course he does (if he doesn't, he plays bad) and many of those hands fold to an all in while AQs may still call.

My thought process:

1) this is an insta-push in a cash game (i.e. pushing is definitely +cEV here)
2) ITM's nowhere in sight, and blinds are high relative to my stack, so +cEV is probably a good approximation of +EV.

I push.
