Well this is the thing, especially with this hand - Where is your edge? Top pair good kicker with the 2nd nut flush (backdoor draw) and a gut shot (but the same 10 makes A,K the nut straight) - You could be up against a made straight already or the nut flush draw - And that isn't even counting possible sets - Or 2 pair - I just think there are 2 many hands against you to make a push worthwhile - I say it's better to BE pushing, instead of calling a push (you wouldn't call a push with this hand, would you?) but neither one makes sense for me - there are a lot better spots to get your money in with
What ranges are you putting your opponents on here? Do you really feel AK is calling a standard raise and not reraising preflop? And is AK calling here drawing to a ten?

Something I really like about this hand is in a 3 way pot with these stacks behind, is if hero makes a bet that is substantial, say 3/4 pot (~$18) and said player calls, what makes villian fold on the turn? What card hits that makes Miffed dump this hand? That puts a $56 pot on the turn leaving Villian with only $25 behind. If Villian thinks he is good on the flop and calls, most of the time all of his money is going in on the turn. Is miffed only folding is the flush hits?

I don't feel there is any way with the draws out there that Miff could of made a better bet here. He feels his opponents are weak and hes playing that. I like this hand.
