I've been making this sort of play a fair bit recently and I'm not sure if it's + EV or not. I raised it too much in this scenario though;basically, if I have a good hand and want action for what ever reason I will bet about 50% of my/opponents stack, and I'll push any flop. The reasoning is is there's a lot of players who would simply call and not consider there stack size; after the flop they may realise they are committed and call of the rest with their worst hand, or think they are bet and fold on the flop, which is a huge success if they ever do that. Opinions? This play is not typically made when fairly short stacked, like 8BB and under, more of a 13-20BB move; I usually use it if a raise of 3BB+1 and a continuation bet of 2/3 pot would cripple my stack

id prefer just calling here, play a smaller pot, even though your OOP, your hand plays well enough postflop to make a call ok. i hate your raise sizing, there isnt any good reason to raise that much. i know it's a dollar tourney, so i could be wrong here, but, generally you fold out the weaker hands, and only get action from hands stronger than yours.

You'd be surpirsed how often players push here; hell, this player did thinking his K high was good! I think the move looks like I'm trying to make them fold so they think, "hey, I'm not been a sucker and letting him push me around, I'll go all-in and he'll fold, let's see who the sucker is now"
