Message: [QUOTE="Dorkus Malorkus, post: 378110, member: 6020"] Fixed. You push exactly because you don't want to have half your stack commited and have to worry about the sort of situation that arises on the flop. If everyone else folds, fine, you take down a big pot. If you get callers, the vast majority of the time you will have got your money in with the best hand. Given that I was silly and didn't push there, I think this is a pretty standard fold. Far too many hands are beating us, and there's a possibility we're drawing dead to some sort of wacky runner runner boat or a few outs for a split pot. If we fold we still have a manageable stack and some room for maneuver. I suspect Player B has AK with the Kh a lot of the time here, btw. If we had the Kh then we could call B's push on the flop.
