i was big blind with AJs and the small blind (equal stack to me, 10bb which was low middle stack overall) had completed. i pushed. is that the right move?
my logic was that in his spot i would pay the 1/2 blind on most anything hoping for a cheap flop or if my cards were terrible i'd just fold and wait on the next one. figured he'd assume i was stealing his blind and call with most aces, middling or better pairs, and some higher suited connectors. i'm ahead on most aces, flipping with most pairs and 60/40 on the connectors, so i'm thinking he'll fold 60% of the time and of the other 40% i'm flipping on average, figuring that the payout of bumping a couple spots isn't going to help me too much as compared to doubling.
he beat me with twos.
overall would it have been better to see the flop and bet small to see if he called?
