I don't like the push as it makes our hand pretty transparent. I would've raised to $80-85 and called a push.
How would I describe myself? Three words: hardworking, alpha male, jackhammer. Merciless. Insatiable.

Every post that I've read so far ends with "Hero pushes". I like it.

Yeah, that's the point. I don't think any of these hands are particularly interesting. The sequence occurred all within 75 hands and I just felt like posting them. The results for one of these is crazy IMO and makes me want to rethink whether you should think a TAG is giving you any credit for a hand when you show laggish tendencies.

If he'd ever push with a set, an overpair, two pair or any other "made" hand here, this is fine. It's not transparent, it's standard.
