This is very read dependent - type of villain, his hand range for limping in, leading with a PSB and then checking the turn, and his ability to fold a mediocre hand to a large overbet. Against some just fold the flop, against others this line looks good; it's a horrible play in some situations and fine in others.

i want to say to push this pf with sb completing. depends on his range though. i would have folded the flop b/c sb has nearly committed himself and i dont want to call away nearly 1/5 of my stack on the bubble on a draw. the Q on the turn probably scares villain but like i said, itll be hard to get him off his hand with 1/4 of his stack already in there. the turn is more read dependent than anything.

i like a push pf

checking preflop and folding the flop would be my default. seems a pot size lead on the flop means they have something. i'd just shove next orbit if he completes again.

I like it.

id usually push pf, as played its kind of read dependent.

Still villain dependent. There's no way you can say it's good or bad to risk your entire stack here on any street - it depends on villain and you haven't given us any reads.
