    Default did i play this ok?

    I called villian's preflop raise because i knew he would get married to a hand like AK with an A or K flopped, and couldn't lay down QQ, KK, AA. I called to mix it up a little and hopefully play for his stack with a big flop.
    Here's the hand.

    PokerStars Game #5040754310: Hold'em No Limit ($0.10/$0.25) - 2006/05/24 - 18:54:30 (ET)
    Table 'Albireo III' 6-max Seat #6 is the button
    Seat 1: Haeresis ($59.50 in chips)
    Seat 2: Bidicha ($15.10 in chips)
    Seat 3: nicolitag ($19.05 in chips)
    Seat 4: TheMoore ($25.60 in chips)
    Seat 6: Jethro87 ($31.10 in chips)
    Haeresis: posts small blind $0.10
    Bidicha: posts big blind $0.25
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to Jethro87 [5s 7s]
    nicolitag: raises $1.25 to $1.50
    TheMoore: folds
    Jethro87: calls $1.50
    Haeresis: folds
    Bidicha: folds
    *** FLOP *** [6h Ks 4s]
    kirca joins the table at seat #5
    nicolitag: bets $2.50
    Jethro87: raises $27.10 to $29.60 and is all-in
    nicolitag: calls $15.05 and is all-in
    *** TURN *** [6h Ks 4s] [Ah]
    *** RIVER *** [6h Ks 4s Ah] [8h]
    *** SHOW DOWN ***
    nicolitag: shows [Kd Ac] (two pair, Aces and Kings)
    Jethro87: shows [5s 7s] (a straight, Four to Eight)
    Jethro87 collected $36.55 from pot
    *** SUMMARY ***
    Total pot $38.45 | Rake $1.90
    Board [6h Ks 4s Ah 8h]
    Seat 1: Haeresis (small blind) folded before Flop
    Seat 2: Bidicha (big blind) folded before Flop
    Seat 3: nicolitag showed [Kd Ac] and lost with two pair, Aces and Kings
    Seat 4: TheMoore folded before Flop (didn't bet)
    Seat 6: Jethro87 (button) showed [5s 7s] and won ($36.55) with a straight, Four to Eight

    I'm really not 2 sure i played it right on the flop. I know i'm ahead with 15 outs with the range i put him on...

    Board: 6h Ks 4s
    equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
    Hand 1: 53.0079 % 53.01% 00.00% { 7s5s }
    Hand 2: 46.9921 % 46.99% 00.00% { QQ+, AKs, AKo }

    But should i have pushed on the flop? If i just call and miss the turn, what's my play? Comments, suggestions??

    Downswinging holla!
    You could make a standard flop raise instead of pushing, but pushing gives you a bit more FE in this spot. You have a monster draw here, I'm definitely looking to get my chips in on this flop.
