    I think it's one of them hands where we have made the right play but, at least partly, for the wrong reason. Seems like it doesn't matter much as our reason for shoving doesn't actually affect the outcome in any way. Pretty important though IMO to understand why we are making a certain play. Its quite likely that at some point we'll find ourselves in a similar situation to this but playing quite a bit deeper, we'll need to get our reason right there.

    I guess in some way I'm kinda suggesting with my shove over the top, that I have KQ, and that he shouldn't really be calling with a bad ace.

    It's very player specific though, as Malcolm said.

    We are 3000 chips better off though when he calls us with his bad ace, why do you want him to fold it.

    Just to clarify seanallen, i said I was hoping for a fold but that was really because i psychologically didnt want to go through a potential suck out, as thats how i've been running lately in MTTs.
    Therefore I knew that in theory I want the call as I was a likely favourite to win the pot, but as you just said it doesn't really matter what you hope for as long as the decision-making is "correct".
