I can't think of any hand that you open push the turn like that. Why not push the flop?

It feels like you don't want a call. I think you can occasionally get a fold, I just don't know if you fold hands that beat you often enough for the play to be profitable.

You're not saying I should actually push the flop here are you? Or do you think there's some merit to it?

I'm saying, considering the action, why would you call his 4 bet and then push the turn? If you had a set or something you'd probably just push after his 4 bet. I'm not sure why you would have waited for the turn to push

I think a check/call of his cbet is standard. You have a perfectly reasonable small pot hand, we're ahead of his range, and have a little draw on the side, he's cooperating in making it a small pot hand.... I see no reason to make one of those dopey check-almost-minraises that scream "I have one pair, it isn't very strong, but I don't think you have anything"... Especially with the draw, which I totally do not want to get pushed off of. Like, if I had air, or was super-unlikely to improve with bottom pair of threes, then maybe a check-almost-minraise is OK. But here? Call the flop. re-evaluate turn (probably a c/f here).
