The flop bet is weak and looks like a standard continuation bet (ie half pot). The turn bet is really weak - something like 44/55/88/flush draw/AK look very possible. A bigger overpair or a set shouldn't be playing it this weak with all the draws on board.

Tough against an unknown, but a push looks fine. A call isn't completely awful as it looks like he's winding down to check/minibet a blank river, but it's a lot to just call off and gives AK/55 decent odds to hit - even 44/88 are almost getting the right odds here.

It's not a continuation bet -- villain wasn't the preflop raiser.

Duh!

Then 44-88/Ah5h/Ah3h/Ax7x looks waaaaay more likely than anything else. The turn bet is too weak to be a made hand unless he has 5h8h/5h3h and these aren't that likely given preflop.

There's a chance you're drawing dead, but I think it's more likely that he's still drawing and you're ahead, so I like a push.
