FLOP [board cards JD,6C,JC ]
Mo-Money04 checks, lauz1 checks, Hero bets $1,645 and is all-in...

Ok so I'm risking my $1600 (and my tournament life)to win the $800 in the pot. I make this play because I'm pretty sure I have the best hand, I don't want to give anyone a chance to make a move on me.

For example, suppose one of the checkers has 77 or a flush draw. If I bet 800 on the flop instead of moving in, he might put me on just overcards and reraise all in. At this point, I'd have a difficult call and would probably end up folding the best hand because I'd put him on the J.

So..push or bet?
