    Default kicker wars.. who's is better?...

    -Villain in this hand is 14/8/4.33 over about 250ish hands
    -He definitely has an ace here, the question is if I should push or fold given the size of his stack?

    Cryptologic
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $1/$2
    6 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $30
    Hero: $200
    CO: $266
    Button: $87.15
    SB: $209.10
    BB: $208.65

    Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with
    UTG folds, Hero raises to $8, CO folds, Button calls, 2 folds.

    Flop: ($19, 2 players)
    Hero bets $14, Button raises to $38, Hero to push or fold??

    I think the worst hand I push with here is AQ. Unless he has been super aggressive post flop then I would widen up my pushing range.

    I never push here and i fold in this spot. I'll call versus a different opponent.

    ok, so we're putting him on AQ/AK here?

    I wasn't sure which part of his play I should weigh more heavily. His PF stats are pretty nitty, which means he could definitely have a strong ace, but his AF is pretty high, so he could be raising a lot of aces here.

    Shit I didn't even notice how tight his stats were. AK is the worst I push here.

    Isn't he more likely raising AK or AQ pre-flop with that aggression? Isn't he more likely to have Axs?

    He either has a bluff or a hand that crushes you (lol ***yawn, obv etc ***) so I'd call or fold, mainly fold.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    Aggression factor is his post flop tendancies. His PFR is 8 which means he's most likely not.
