Thanks guys. I was too tired in this hand and kinda scared from being new to 100nl, and basically wussed out checking behind I was thinking he played top pair fast, so might play a flush or rivered str8 slow. That really doesn't make sense. Playing tired/scared sucks.

Why should a bet be a push? I don't know for sure what you mean about stack sizes and pot size (that if I bet less and raised I should call, so therefore just push?).

The thing is it might cause some worse hands in his range (pair/draw or low two pair) to fold, because of how tight I've played so far. But he's probably too focused at his tilt at UTG. Anyway, don't get me wrong, I like the idea of pushing, because the majority of villain's range of worse hands will probably call it.
