What do you guys think of the turn push? Good, or should I just make it 600 instead?

I will bet 500 here, i think its enought for flush draw players to go away and playuer with something like ATo to call or put you all-in (the best option).

it doesn't matter i hope most villains realize that 600 on the turn is the same as a push. also fold pf [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It's not the same.. cuz you give an oppertunity to put you all in with villain's marginal hand. if u push all in the 90% of time u will not recive an action.

Yeah, pushing would be pretty bad. Bet 500.

I agree. bet 500. you want to collect chips when you can and as much of them as you can. Just be careful and calculate pot odds, so you don't give the flush draws the right to call. (500 would be just enough.
I wouldn't agree with folding preflop. Pot odds, because hero is on the small blind justify heros call...not always, but mixing it up a bit with this kind of calls is on a way to balance your strategy.
