Umm...

Push as fast as you can?

Generally I assume this raise means he really doesn't want to risk his whole stack. I would push.

very clear push. in fact, if he had pushed, it would be a clear call.

Should be the easiest push of the day for you.

Exactly. I posted the hand because it wasn't the easiest push, I actually stopped and thinked about it a long time before pushing it...

This was my first $55, and it was quite interesting to see that I can play at this level without any problems. Now I just need to steal ~$1500 from the nearest bank to have a decent BR to play it.

[/ QUOTE ] I like what he said. I'd say with that raise, worse case scenario you are facing two overs, best case scenario you are facing a lower pp.
