Good Push Situations?

The first one I flat call hoping the original raiser also calls or pushes. My reasoning is that if the reraiser has AA/KK's and the UTG has AK/AQ and is loose I may be able to win a sidepot from UTG 1 to cover my loss if button does have a bigger pair.

[/ QUOTE ]I fail to see the logic here. If you allow him to call with AK, and the flop dont contain any A or K, you still have to bet and he will fold. So that wont make you any more money.

The only thing you can hope for is if he have AQ and an Q flops. That would make you some money, but its not very likely. And he will fold AJ no matter what, and probably JJ or lower, so you wont have him dominated.

And if the flop does contain an A or K, your play just cost you the whole pot.

Its a lose/lose situation.
