Been thinking about this (not just your response but all of them). Against a made hand we're around 45-55%, usually above 50% but only just. I've always considered this a spot where we dont mind getting all in, but we don't necessarily want to get all in. If he flipped say TT I'm obviously not sad, but I'm not fistpump 'Gotcha!' either. Do we really prefer enticing a push from hands we flip against, or are you suggesting a smaller bet lets him shove some crap we're ahead of, not just flipping with?
