Pair and nut flush draw with little FE...

Villain in this hand is unknown. I really want to push here, even though i have little FE (i doubt he's folding a K), because:

1. I could actually have the best hand right now and i don't want to have to fold it.
2. I know pushing is +EV just because of how many outs i have.
3. I'm not sure if i can make my hand more +EV by calling here and playing on later streets because i don't know the villains tendencies...

Is this bad logic?

I'm not folding and I'm not calling, so I'm pretty sure pushing is the best option. Mini-raises on this flop often mean "I know flopped flushes are rare and I have at least a pair or a diamond". A push would tell him "whatever you hold I have outs".

I think pushing here is good because you are OOP.

I would re-raise to 60 and shove the turn.

i like your logic.

Reads are pretty irrelevant. You have a big hand with which you should gamble given the reasonably shallow stacks.

I dont get it. We almost never have the winning hand, but we are ahead a lot, and we have almost no FE. Why not just take our 14 outs? I dont expect to get blown out of the pot from a guy who just minraised.

I get that if villain calls your re-raising to 60, he's left with $50.00 with a $139.00 pot and thus you get the odds to shove on the turn (putting some 26% of the pot with 30% chance to make your hand). It seems you re-raise b/c you want the action and the re-raise is more likely to be called than the all-in re-raise, and it will pot-commit villain anways. But what if a K comes on the turn? The Aces may no longer be outs, and then you don't get the odds to shove? Then what do you do?

short stacks play so random, i bet we have the best hand at least 10% of the time, and it just sucks checking the turn and prob folding the 2/3 time the draw misses.
just push the flop and get full equity out of the hand.

miracleriver- i think fnord didn't notice CO has a short stack.
