Looks fine to me.

I don't think there is anything wrong with your line.

I gotta ask you though, what was your plan if the turn was a blank?

raise size is good in terms of the pot but awkwards for your stack. I hardly ever say this, but this might be a good spot for a minraise/push any turn. My default is generally just to raise all-in; it's an overbet, but basically any raise commits us and we want the money going in when we're ahead/maximize our fold equity.

Ok man.. well if so then your flop line was questionable because most of the time the turn will miss you and you'll be left pot commited with a drawing hand.

Actually I am thinking that pushing the flop after his PSB with probably a lot of FE, a K-high FD and two overs to the bord is a good line. (You are possibly flipping even if he calls.)

This time the turned king gave you an easier decision, but I'll tell you to push any turn here.

With a short stack either call or push the flop. You're not betting enough to get 9,10 or A7 off. You're also not leaving yourself with a lot of options for the turn as you're now pot committed. When the turn blanks you still have to put your chips in the middle, might as well get them AI with the most opportunity and be glad if he folds to your push as it's most likely a flip.

I push the turn no matter what and call if villain pushes the turn.

Flop bet is fine. A push gives away that you are on a draw. On the turn, you hhave odds to continue even if you missed.

I just shove flop, cheerfully.

Yeah, this is an important argument. Like you said, it might actually decrease our FE. Depending on villain though. The upside of pushing all-in is that it isn't always seen as a draw, and it let's you go all-in while you still have two cards to come. Guess I'm just really afraid of missing turn and having to push there with very little FE and only one card to come.
