In worst case here I presume that when pushing and get called by one player I will be flipping, but in most cases I will dominate weaker aces. Practically the same should apply if I get called by more than one opponent, where in worst case I could be around 1/(nr of callers)*100% equity, but mostly of all cases my hand will be dominating weaker aces here as well. That`s why I decide to just push here. Is this how you should play this hand in these situations with raise and multiple calls, or should I take another approach?

Hello rupucis2,

Out of position it is fine to push here. We can also 3-bet to ~360 chips, but if you know that villains can call your push with such a hands, than its great to push.

Best regards,
Antoan :pokerface:
