AK if he's good. JJ/AQ/worse if he's just making a move to test you.

[/ QUOTE ] Flop is KQx. I bet $75, he thinks a little and raises to $150. I carefully push the slider to the far right and raise all-in. He folds for his last $200. wtf??

Just out of curiosity why do you push to his flop raise?

Because I had the nuts and thought he'd call.

But why is that a better play then just calling his raise and hoping he'll fire another barrel on the turn?

What sort of a hand would push on the turn that wouldn't call it all on the flop?

Some ppl may think of it as "weaker" to just call, thus they may be more willing to get all their money in.

I dunno the way I see this hand he opened Pre-flop with something like J10 suited and called your re-raise. He flopped an OESD, so he was smashing with outs (putting you on probably AK and figuring you wont back off it). Your push tells him to forget about drawing because you have the goods. I just don't see him having AA because he didn't go over the top of you pre-flop and I really think he woulda called on the flop. AK is a good possibility but even then IMO he has to have a pretty solid line on you not to call that flop. That's just the way I see things.

I think AA is his most likely hand and since you reraised he's putting you on KK/QQ at worst AK but given the way you pushed I think he settled for KK or QQ and he made a good fold. I'd have flat called the raise and maybe made a medium sized turn bet and try to make it look more like AK...the push makes what you have fairly obvious and given your description of this player I'd be thinking you won't get his stack that way.

Once I call the raise there's $420 in the pot and he has around $190 left.

I think pushing his raise just gives him a chance to get away. If you smoothcall and lead the turn for $100 how can he get away? I don't see how giving him a look at the turn is going to hurt.
