Why push this?? I'm not super afraid of the flush. Having the A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] helps a lot. Wouldn't a better line be check/call any bet? That way he might bluff at it. Or he might even value bet a hand like TT-QQ.

Check and call. The $$$ is going in no matter what if he made trips, but by checking you can hopefully get him to commit his stack with a weak hand where he will just fold if you push. Try and get him to push AT or something.

Say I check and he checks behind.
Push turn? Bet turn?
Do I check it down to river and hope he bluffs along the way??

[splashpot]

I'd probably check the turn. If it's checked to the river, lead out with a bet, but not all in. And call any raise.

Cool. I wasn't quite sure about the push. Luckily villian called w/ QQ, but I think this line is much better. Thanks guys.

I think the push actually invites a call. You push and he doesn't fear the K and will most likely call with any pair TT-QQ(as he did). I think the only way your getting any more $$ is if he has a large PP anyway. Check this flop or bet small and your screaming AK I think he folds unless he catches (boat/flush)anyway.
