Check and take my free card. I don't know what the big stack is up to, and I'm not willing to pay to find out.

This is player dependant, but I'd bet t300 without a read here.

Planning on calling a push I hope?

[cleinen]

I pushed. My thinking was that if i check i am probably going to be pushed out on the turn unless i hit a T. My next hand is going to be trouble because the BB in that hand will have a wide range given he will have 1/3 of his stack in play. Comments?

You know you're double gutted, right?

How has the villian played his big stack thus far? Is he limping in a lot, playing passively? Or is this out of character?

I don't believe thats possible with 200/400 blinds /images/graemlins/smile.gif

He had been real passive. I figured he was looking to see a flop and not much else.

That's why it would throw him off.

OK. Against that player I typically like Jman's plan, but you seem to think that's not an option /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Tough spot. You have 8 good outs and 6 more potential outs if he doesn't have a J or better. I'm down with the push. I don't expect these loose passive guys to get tricky too often, and I dont like the spot we're in if we check behind and have to fold the turn.
