Stone, its heads up to the flop. Theres nobody behind me.
#1) He called my push with KQ. The board bricked out and my AK is good.
#2) He folded to my CRAI. This is a situation where some people may say, I'll fold off worse hands and get called by better hands by pushing. Ive always disagreed with this statement. Well, this time I agree with it, but I still like the push because I cant see how I can just call.
If I call and a 4th spade hits Im screwed. If he has something like JJ, Im getting nothing more from him anyway, but he might steal the pot if the
hits the river even if he doesnt have one. I think its much better policy to put him in a vise by making him make a decision for his stack, than to call and let him put ME in a vise on the river. If he has something like
[Qs], hes calling and hes a 3-1 dog.
