I might bet closer to pot on flop to maximize my fold equity, but otherwise, nice.

just calling there is also EV. If opponent call push with TP hands, push is probably closer to -EV.

I'm not really that good a poker and i'm trying to learn. Why do you push turn? If called all you really have is a flush draw + GS. Wouldn't a flat call be much better?

its not a bad play if opponent is tight enough to fold. you most likely have 18 outs to the best hand (unless he has a straight or a set. i wouldnt do it if i wasnt pretty sure he would fold though since u only have the river to work with.

I don't see much value in pushing with the best hand unless you want your opponent to fold (except if villian is dreadful).
