Re: Did I have too much love for the ladies?

You have made a pretty strong play at these stakes, you have limped and re-raised which is invariably a pretty strong/very strong hand - villian prolly knows that.

I guess I didn't give him that much credit. I did push, btw. I guess I thought that if I went this far, I might as well go to the felt with it. If I called, I would have half my nearly stack in there already. I figured his range to be any big Ace or any medium to big pocket pair. I thought I had a lot of his range beat.
I really liked my play up until this point. But this reraise caught me off-guard. I guess I was thinking that a fold was not an option - was I wrong there? Should I have actually folded this given the betting going on? I guess in hindsight, a call and re-evaluation would have been a more careful play (although in this particular case, that T96 rainbow flop would have had me getting it all in there anyway).
It's just tough for a newb like me - it seems a good case can be made for a call, push, or fold.
Call: I can re-evaluate the flop and an A or K will give me a reason to fold.
Push: There are only two possible holdings that I am not ahead of, seems like a good spot to get it all in.
Fold: If he is smart, he saw the strength of my play and is still unafraid. Yikes. Cut my losses at $4.25 and get the hell outta this hand.
