UTG raises t1535 (all-in)

This is the 4th consective time that he has raised when i was a blind. (twice when i was bb, once when i was sb.) and i got tired of it. he never showed cards since we all folded. I dont recall how he became big stack since i was multitabling.

my plan was to call, then min bet to see what he does.

but then i flopped a straight draw.

draw: 8 outs
2 overcards: 6 outs

total = 14 outs

so i switched to an all-in draw bluff.

should i have not bluffed all-in? should i have folded pre-flop in the 1st place?

What would you have done? and WHY?

If you think he is just trying to steal here, then I push back over the top. Otherwise, I'd muck it.

If think he is stealing, why not push all-in preflop? If not, don't play the hand. Now you get caught in the middle with a flop you kinda lika but don't love.

Btw, whats up with the HH? Aren't you supposed to act before him on the flop? If you pushed I think it's a good play. Sort of a stop'n go semi-bluff thingy (not to mention you might have the best hand here).
