is this a good time to push? Best case scenario he calls and has TT or JJ and i have 14 or 15 outs. Worst case scenario he calls and has AA and i have 9 outs. Even if he calls and has QQ i have 12 outs against him.

Does the situation change if i have AJ, in which case i'm a bigger dog to a hand like QQ or JJ?

I probably would have called. Check folded the turn depending on what card hits. I hate pushing all-in with a draw especially the small action that took place pre-flop

(imho) I don't think I would be disappointed here if I folded on the flop. But I would at least probably called the turn and take it from there.

Oh yah and I think playing AJ makes a huge difference. If an Ace falls on the turn you may have kicker problems and it would be harder to get away from the hand.

This looks good as an ace or diamond on the turn could kill your action and you aren't deepstacked at all; your push is only 4x his bet. Might as well get it all in here.

What's your reputation? That is, is it plausible that you raised and called with 4x? 77 of course beats him and fits the preflop action, but you'd be playing it pretty fast to push this flop.

In general I like a push with two overs and the nut flush draw, but this isn't a very a scary flop for a big pair. He might think you're overplaying a medium pair, if not put you on the flush draw. The only hands we'll likely get him off are AK-AJ. Getting a fold from AK is a fantastic result, by the way.

Yeah, you're really not going to fold much on this board.

But I like it, provided that you're planning on reloading and taking advantage of your image after this.

I don't like calling here because it doesn't really set us up for any future hands, and if we hit, we're probably not getting paid.

Seems pretty standard to me.

I think this is an aggressive way to play a hand but I think you will get a fold sometimes and you will improve almost 50% of the time, I am not sure I like doing this on a paired board because you could be drawing dead.
