Willing to call an all in, but not willing to push.

I felt like this was a situation where if I pushed i was only going to be called if i was beaten. Person wasn't tricky, or overly agressive.

Why did you check the turn? I don't think giving a free card here is a good idea.

Blind steal gone lucky?

[Nemesis]

definately a blind steal that got lucky. I checked the turn going for a check raise. Looking back you're right i didn't want to give a free card. I think i may have gotten lucky here.

Not Goot. You are pot committed. You cant fold now. There is no indication that your hand is not good. Most hands that will call the flop bet will also call this bet. If you had slightly bigger stacks and werent pot committed, I love this type of play. You've played it like you have nothing. I love it. I just think that if your opponent has AK he will still call this all-in bet on the turn. Where as if the turn goes check check, he may fold on the river with ace high. I like to get people to commit on the turn.

How much deeper would my stack need to be before playing it like i did?
