Probably easy

This is literally my first session ever playing no limit so my hand reading skills are absolutely terrible right now. What is an approx range for villain here?

Villain is new to the table and the only one I don't have a read on.

Poooosh.

You are ahead of a lot and if not, you still have outs.

Thinking the hand over, I thought pushing was defenetely the best play. Am I right to assume people will be doing this with QJ, AdQ type hands very often?

At least this is the only hand I have butchered so far. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Yes, also sets.

Yeah get it all in, you technically "have outs" I guess, but moreover set over set/flush over flush are situations where you shouldn't worry about getting stacked as it will just cost you money on your big hands.

Raise or fold preflop, imo.

Fwiw, the table had been playing fairly passively preflop. Not a ton of raising and limping usually encouraged more limping. Would this change your raise/fold recommendation?

A little, but I still think it's raise or fold. Hands like this in NL play very poorly OOP. Limp with this hand on the button all day after other limpers (although even then people here will argue raise > limp).
