[Donating]

If you are looking to raise preflop here - which is an acceptable option - you need to raise more. 275 would be a pot sized raise and probably a better number. This should have the effect of limiting the field as this is a hand that you would prefer not to play for a raise against a large field. 4x the BB is a fairly standard opening raise, but not when there are already two limpers in the pot.

Your push on the flop is totally fine. You hit your best card. What are you planning on doing - betting half the pot and then folding to a raise. Given the size of the pot and your chip stack, you are pretty much pot committed. The only reason to bet less would be to milk a lesser hand or encourage a bluff raise. By pushing, they may think you are semi-bluffing (e.g., AQ, JJ) and you may get called by a weaker king. I like the play.
