Pushing the flop looks fine here. At least raise it a decent size.

Erm, I'm actually inclined to disagree with pushing the flop. At this limit, a lot of people realize that draws get pushed a helluva lot and I'm pretty sure any overpair calls here. The only hand I can see that we might have some fold equity against is AJ, though even that's pretty thin. The only hands that you would be folding here by pushing / raising are hands that missed like AK/AQ. And also, if you were to raise a substantial amount, would you raise it such that you force yourself into a call if he pushes or enough so that if he pushes we can fold profitably?

[Pirelli]

There is no way you can profitably fold if you raise it.

I don't think you realise how much equity we have here. If villain open pushed and we put him squarely on a range of QQ+, we can still call profitably. We would be getting 6:5 on our money but only be an 11:10 dog.

Yeah actually you're right, even if we put him on hands that have us crushed (like 66, 99, AJs/o, JJ+), we still have 48% equity, so pot odds would justify a call. The only hand here that has us crushed is something like AhTh, which we might get fold equity from, so yeah I agree, push on the flop isn't bad at all.
