Default $16-T9s-flopped straight draw

I never know what to do here, is a push ok? SB is a solid player from what I've seen across a few tables a few different sessions.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1025)
UTG+1 (t2770)
CO (t2690)
Button (t3480)
SB (t2155)
Hero (t1380)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, SB calls t50, Hero checks

Flop: (t200) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">SB bets t100</font>, Hero?

I dunno, I'm always really lost in these spots as well and never feel like any options are very good. I think I'd call and that usually freezes these types of players on the turn. It's pretty likely that your 9 and T are also outs. Most people won't continue betting on the turn here w/o an ace or unless if he catches 2 pair on some 7x or 8x type of hand.

I wouldnt push - I would probably take most aces out of his range due to a pf limp and a minbet on the flop, he could just be trying to complete and 'fake' cbet to take the pot down. You have 8 clean outs, and possibly 14, I think peeling here and seeing how he bets the turn (or betting if he checks) is a good way to handle this spot.

He probably doesn't have an A and probably believes you don't either given the preflop action. I agree with a call here... pushing 1200 into a 300 pot just seems too extreme, but raising would be awkward too. Call and see what happens on the turn

I'd shove preflop myself. You have a SC! 14 bbs is so awkward.

As played, I'd just call. I'd need reads to know if I can eliminate most Ax from his range.

I'd be keener if you had a bit bigger stack but raising to 250 would not be horrible with your read. He'll fold an awful lot, and he'll check to you on the turn a lot of the rest of the time. Calling is fine too.

I like a call on the flop too.
