Is this a pushable flop?
Your stack is at 750 on the flop, the pot is at 260.

[ensign_lee]

no...if you go all in here, you're only getting called by hands that own you.

Bet the pot, and go from there.

Maybe you catch TT JJ but I'm not sure what the motivation is for a push. PS is fine.
Also bigger raise pre flop, 3x with a limp already isn't getting anyone out.

[ihategnomes]

preflop raise generally should = 3BB plus 1-2BB for every limper.

Put 200 out there and then push the turn if it is checked to you.

[aleksandr]

What they said. Push here means you take down the pot but it's likely you have the best hand and also likely that someone will call a moderate sized bet. If you get re-pushed I'd lean towards a fold though.

[a500lbgorilla]

Jesus, do you do anything other than push/fold? It's a 200 pot and you've got 700 behind. NOT a pushable situation.

[jmontis]

a push of 700 is a big ass bet at 10-15 blinds, take that into consideration

[dr3wfish]

pushing 700 is too big - why risk your entire stack when a pot-sized bet will get the job done. Bet pot, fold to a re-raise

If i were so good that I didnt make mistakes or bad plays, I wouldnt be here would I? =).

SO I take that pushing here causes a situation where only better hands will call you.
Betting 200 will make you more money against hands that you have beat, and then, from aces pushing the turn if its checked to you is the onyl way to put more money into the pot.

Since I too am here, I'm offended by what you're implying!

You've gotta value bet this sucker nice and g00t but you don't wanna get tied up in a turn or aggression from a weak player. I think you can bet about 200 here and push any non-heart turn.
