Push is ok ONLY if you have no faith in your post flop skills. You're over betting the pot by almost 3x. Someone slow playing AA or KK has you dominated. 7c5c is also a big favorite over you. Seem like you're betting too much to win this. I understand the desire to blow all draws and overcards away. How about $40? You're only called or raised by one of the hands above (QQ shouldn't be eager to call) OR by someone with huge stones.

meh, if we bet $40 and one or both call, then what is the plan when any of the 17 to 23 scare cards hit on the turn and villain(s) bet?

I push this flop with 2 villains in the hand, the pot at $44, and only $84 behind.

What 17 to 23 scare cards? If you bet $40 on the flop, you can assume ONLY a hand that has you beat has called with the possible exception of 7c5c. You can check-fold unless a J hits the turn. Yes - you're paying off to bad draws that get there, but you want these players making these bad calls. Some days they take your stack. That's poker.
