Push for value.

This is a bluff, or a straight blocking enough to make the push +EV

Looks like a call against most players.
Against a good regular or bad player (5% of the very best and 10% of the worst) push could be better.

the best player in the world would have way better reads and notes :)

Call sans any reads whatsoever, but this you already know.

When I play a patient and relaxed game I win - that simple.

I completely agree with Brian's push.

I don't think SB ever has you beat here, so shove seems right.

Wow. That many people saw the hand? I guess the title gave it away. I personally thought a push was pretty bad because I thought it was obvious the guy had a flush.

Hero pushed and vliian had [Qh][Jh]. I would say sbrugby played it perfectly up to that point.

I agreed with kenny... who by the way is the best 1/2NL player in the world.... call it looks like you both got there and unless you are higher than a J not time to get too frisky...
