No good reads. I think I should raise here, but how much? Push and hope someone holds a T? What do they hold?

I make it 40, since anything less gives good implied odds.

You can also lead the flop and conceal the draw as a possibility. As played, pot sized would be $54, so make it $45-55.

i like to push here. that way i dont have to think on the river, many scare cards can come. and a set might call, a T will call, flush draw might call as well.. i also like to reraise (minraise) the flop to juice it up a bit.

I pretty much always bet the flop here, and on the turn I may just push because if I raise to like 40 and the bettor calls with his T, the caller has good enough odds to call with his FD

raise to 50 o so, no one with a ten is folding and will stack off on any flush free river imo, which leaves only a few cards to kill all your action. If they dont have a ten then meh unlucky.

So, bet 40-50 to try to pot commit a set for instance? Do you think a set will fold to a push here? I fell that a push will result in two folds and that I need to get more money in the pot with a smaller bet, but at the same there are many cards I fear on the river.

Anyone qualified who could analyse in some detail why a push or a smaller bet is better here?

Pot it. You want calls but not correct ones.
