I think the call after the flop bet is automatic, but my question is: Should he have bet less on the flop?

Les say he bet 300 instead of 500, and the guy pushes over. Do you still call?

[Staple Gun]

I think either raise works, If he pushes over the top of a 300 raise you can still call with K's as outs most likely too. That 11 outs or ~45% plus the possibility of a fold, plus a Jack might even take it.

[a500lbgorilla]

Yah, I probably call another 700 if he leads 300.

Pot's already 450+300+1010 and it's only 700 to call with an OESD and long shot at 3 outs for a K.

I dont think leading 500 is so bad. It tells everyone that he's commited to the pot so you can only push if you have it. Unfortunately.. op had it.

If you intend to call a push, why not just push AI yourself?

Pro: Increased fold equity.
Con: Might be easier to put you on a hand, but I don't give the $5.5 players that much credit without a read.

i check, if someone bets small i push, if someone pushes i fold.

[drmcboy]

I'm leaning toward pushing the flop, although I think above all good lines. You'd think AQ/KQ would have raised pre flop, QJ is not happy to be calling off his chips... if he's got QT, well, you have outs. I guess the question is - is a weak Q or AT/KT more likely to fold to the 300/500 or the push? Tough to say, but again I lean a bit toward the push. Table image a factor here, if you've been very agg Gabe's line is maybe best.
