    Default Bad push on river?

    This is a live game its down too 3 people(6 people to start). Im short stack.

    blinds are 10/20
    my chips are about 200, big stack is about 350
    im big blind. holding
    Big stack is small blind he just calls, I cheak.
    flop:
    he cheaks, i bet out 40
    turn:
    he cheaks, i cheak.
    river:
    he cheaks, i push all in.
    He takes few moments and calls with


    i had a pretty good idea of what cards he was playing for sure i knew he didnt have top pair, but i guess he never limped with an ace befor 3 handed with blinds pretty massive. Bad push? I didnt have enough chips did I? Or u think he was slow playing me?
    (my table image was very tight and I always had position on my opponents for everyhand i had to show.)

    -If I raised preflop I dont think i could have taken it down cause i would be pot committed into betting on the flop to make him fold.
    -If I pushed on turn??? maybe but I really dont think that could have made him lay it down. His call, cheak cheak. made me push.
    -Whats yoru thoughts?

    please and thank you.

    btw in our convorsation they told me togo allin preflop with 6 high it takes balls. I told them their retarded.

    At this point you are push or fold. I wouldnt call to see a flop. He was SB and checked. I probably woulda pushed right then. Theoretically you could wait like two hands more for something better, maybe A high at least. Oh well. If you have not read Harrington on HoldEm you definitely should. He has a very common sense approach to these sort of things.

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    I probably would have just checked behind. Honestly, one double up and you are right back in the mix, only a few chips behind the CL. I think if you are pushing it has to be before the flop. Otherwise, this is a hand I wouldn't like to do much with.
