[The Yugoslavian]

I kinda like a nice, solid bet of t0 or t275 here.

I like 275-300 myself; it's enough to make it wrong for overcards or the open-ender to hang around, and the risk-reward is much better than that push into that pot. I also think folding (is that what you're suggesting, Yugo?) is silly, and just calling is unattractive because so many cards make it hard to continue on the turn.

[microbet]

If someone has you beat they are going to call your bet anyway.

If they don't have you beat, I think you just want to make them overpay for a draw. I would go with something like Yugo and gumpzilla said, maybe 250.

Maybe though, the push is the weak-tight thing to do and that does seem to be working for you.

Another thing is someone who just paired up on the board may think you are an idiot on a draw.
