A senseless push?

Low stakes 6-max NL

Hero is in the BB w/ K Heart K Diamond , About 350~BB
Villain is on the button, About 100~BB

In the two hands prior to this one I had pushed the flop with air and the hand after I had pushed the flop with an 78s open-ended straight/flush draw, which I showed. I doubt most of the table know the value of an OESFD. Folded to me on both occasions.

utg limps, button limps, hero raises 6x,button calls

Flop: 2 Diamond J Heart Q Diamond

*edit* corrected actions
Hero pushes

If your image is as it should be you'll get called by TP a lot, maybe even mid-pair.

Yeah...my reasoning was that anything other than a push by now would almost be suspicious. He used his timer and the table kept saying 'call' 'call' 'he is bluffing again!' but finally he folded. Sad Probably had a PP from 77-TT is my personal guess (not the raising type, no).

Well, so I had to play tighter than anything, which was annoying...that KK might have gotten the scare back into them. Unfortunately I picked up AQs on the next hand:

Hero is in the SB with A Diamond Q Diamond, covers
Villain is in MP with 200~BB

3 limpers, Hero raises 7x, MP calls, 2 folds

Flop: K Diamond 2 Diamond 6 Club
Hero pots, MP calls (Now I'm worried)

Turn: A Heart
Hero pots,MP calls (Now I'm not)

River: 2 Club
Hero pots,MP calls

Showdown:
Hero has (ADiamond QDiamond) Two pair aces&deuces
Villain has (JDiamond TDiamond) A pair of deuces

This made me laugh a little actually.
