My read on the opponent was he would play about 20%
Was the calling pre flop the best play? I know that sub 13 BB its usually push or fold, however I was unsure of my hand until I flopped top pair top kicker on rainbow board.
Perhaps if I had shoved pre-flop he'd not have called. I was reluctant to shove versus such a big stack simply because I thought he'd call most hands on equity because even if losing he'd still be big stack comfortably, so I wanted to be sure on a hand before committing.
