Flopped straight,is this push ok?

[Dislexsik]

Guy was tight agressive.
Im wondering if its best to push or just to call his reraise.
I know my hand is realy vulnerable,so i guess this is the right play?

Re-raise to 20. No need to make the decision easy for him.

Push is way overzealous. Reraise to at least 17 and push a non-spade turn.

mxiu,
I agree with your math, but not your logic. 14-20 might do the job here, but I think the job IS to suggest he fold.
Villain has him stacked, so the push does send a stronger message.
"I have the straight NOW. If you want to draw for the flush, it's half your stack on a 37% shot... "

Dis,
I agree with the choice. You took the money while it was yours.

You don't like money? If we sat here and I flopped the nuts, I like to put more and more money into the pot. Regardless if I'm up against a set/flush draw. I'm winning long term.

Dale,
You posted while I was typing. I like your line.
Cuts down the odds and gives us some options to extract a bit more. I'm still sort of hoping Villain folds to that bet on the flop. Shows I maybe need to think past the next bet more.

mx,
Definitely not disagreeing with your math.
a 63% shot at 40 is worth more than a 100% at 10 long term.
But in some ways, I think giving up 100% for 63% is also worth analyzing mathematically. When you have 100%... take it. Don't wait for it to be 50%. Or zero if the next card is the wrong suit.
Heck it may have been worth it just to shake up the big stack. ("Look out, I could go all in any SECOND man..." )
