No read on villian. He had about 2.5k and, I had like 3.5k before the hand

I push, he calls with A5s, Bad beat or bad play?

I'm thinking bad beat. I think he needed at least one more caller to call your raise pre-flop, maybe 2. He's getting a little over 2 to 1 to call and A5s is easily dominated by a SB raiser. He's playing for the flush draw and lucked into trips.

I like the flop push by you just because the only hand you should be fearing is 55. If he had 55, then oh well, but I think he raises TT and folds T5 before you get to raise. Sadly, that's poker. What can you do?

I'm pushing this flop almost 100% of the time. You guys aren't deep enough for you to get away from it because he can push with 88, 99, JJ, and QQ- not to mention any 2 spades.

It's a weak lead, but that's different for everyone on every flop. This wasn't an action flop by the rank on the cards.

all right, thnx for the input guys. Some dude at my table was claiming he woulda laid it down...

What do you guys think?

Dunno, in that case is it more likely someone has a King as its a card ppl will call a raise with. Also your deeper stacks so that re-raise looks alot scarier.
