Priced to push? 50NL

Its probably a set, so I'm not quite getting the right odds to push (almost), but does my flop re-raise require a push? In retrospect, I think a call on his first bet would have been better.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Hero ($46.50)
SB ($48.35)
BB ($126.70)
UTG ($28.80)
MP ($65)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
2 folds, Hero raises to $2, SB calls $1.75, 1 fold.

Flop: ($4.50) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets $2.25, Hero raises to $8, SB raises to $16, Hero?

just get it in, not raising the flop is a sin.

Well.... 36.50 (your remaining stack)/ 93 total pot if he calls is like 39% and you have 42% equity vs 67,66,77 so I don't think pushing can be bad.

I don't mind the reraise. If you can be absolutely sure he'll call a turn push with a set if your club comes that might be another way to go, trading your bad flop call for his bad turn call. That's kind of marginal too.

I guess I just push it and see what happens.

I've got the cat that stays up all night pushing for me [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

He still pushes this too

I don't mind a call w. position. He's giving us nice odds, I doubt we are ahead if we shove and he calls/etc etc. Though shoving cant be too bad.

I'm just trying to get it in on the flop.
