FTP $24 - shocking I get to play some post-flop poker ITM
 

The villain is a fairly good regular. I've raised all-in at him twice before when he checked to me in the SB. Both times he instafolded.

What's my line here?

I doubt he's trapping with this line - if he knows you might push if he checks. It doesn't look like a blocking bet, so he probably has something.

You have up to 14 outs, not all clean. Push or call and see what he does on the turn both look OK to me.

I shove, 3 handed with 2 overs and a str8 draw.

I push preflop and now I push the flop.

Easy fold.
There is no way you are ahead right now.
You have put no money in this pot.
Vilain is showing some interest and your push will not be big enough to make him fold.
No need to get fancy.

Pushing this pf with OP's read is pretty much suicidal. After completing a few times and getting pushed over, villains here are likely trying to trap pf.

I can see legitimate arguments being made for pushing, folding and even calling depending on the feel of the game, i.e. what you think the other player is doing and how he'll react this time to your action.

I could see floating being a legitimate play vs the right opponent, but I don't think that situation comes up often.

I'd lean towards pushing based on what you told us about the game so far, unless I know this opponent to be a trapper. Its true that he might be trapping, but a lot of people "trap" with hands that you're in good pretty shape against. Also you have FE vs many hands you might be behind and most likely a lot of outs if you get called.
