Flop is debateable, the bet is really small but you do have the BB to act after you, and you also don't have any draws to back up the two over cards. I can understand a call tho since you are getting like 7:1

As played, I'm pushing the turn.

this is one of the reasons why re-raising the flop sucks, when you get to the flop and whiff, the pot is huge and it's out of control.

I like a call pf, and go broke here with TPTK.

as played call flop bet, nice turn card. I shove turn.

Call PF not raise.
Flop just about OK (given the pot odds) but naked overcards often aren't good enough to justify the call here.
Great turn card- get em all in to overcharge the draws.

I didn't mention this the first time around, but in position like that I like calling pf over reraising for the same reason everyone else said.

Flop call isn't horrible only cause of the odds, just don't make it a habit.
