I thought about pushing after his raise on the flop.. is this the play I should have made? Was there a better line I could have taken?

tough call.
His three bet suggets he isnt going to fold if you push, so you have to put him on a set probably.
Saying that id have pushed anyway.
He could also have KQs i guess.

I put him on QQ.. I really wanted to push but opted for the call. He probably would've called anyways and it'd be a toss up. Couldn't really call the all in bet on the turn, but pushing on the turn has fold equity..

32% dog on the flop vs QQ
22% on the turn.

If youd raised more on the flop i think youd have been commited on the turn anyways with teh amount you had left behind, its close though.

Say he had KK though, which is very possible. A push on the flop and he probably folds... He was a pretty good player, and could lay down hands. I figure he knew I didn't have a set because I didn't push on the flop, so he coudl've been putting me on AQ (If he had KK..)

Though I suppose in this situation, if I did have a set and he had KK it would've been a good line to take to just call the 3 bet like I did.

By the way, Miffed, what do you think about my call with A3s here? I have position.. and if I don't hit a nice flop I can lay it down in a heartbeat. But say he has AK and I hit two pair, I could potentially stack him, or at least win a nice pot. Thoughts?
