I can only really push if I DO bet imo so which do you prefer?

I'd push on the off chance he's holding something like AJ /images/graemlins/diamond.gif - probably got the same hand I guess.

I don't think he's often calling a push with much you beat, but you're a small dog to his range so the dead money in the pot probably makes a shove +EV.

push, pot control isn't for drawy boards

I would think TPTK on a draw heavy board would be the exact type of situation you would want to control the pot. Is Hero really supposed to push when one of the draws that are out just hit on the turn?
