Right to aim for 1st, or should I have been more conservative?

I can't decide if I'm happy with the following hand or not.
Maybe I should have pushed PF? The BB had been very lose - playing about 40% of hands - so I did think it possible he held a Q... but with...

When you bet the turn and get minraised again, why do you think pushing is a good idea?

Was I right to call?

I think I'm happy with how I played this hand - I just walked into someone that was also slowplaying! But I'm wondering if other people think I was right to call the all-in. Would anyone have folded...

Re: was this way too tight? 3 handed in a 10 +1

On the bubble this is a definite fold for me.

You haven't given any read for UTG, but why take the risk?

IMO, I think the advice here is terrible. I don't think the advice you should have folded PF, but since you didn't you should call/push is sound advice. IMHO, it's atrocious.

How about a related question.

A third spade falls on the river, you bet big. Everyone else folds (It's an example, so assume whatever other facts you want to.)

I always show if I'm BB and it's been folded to me (I haven't taken any action so I figure it's harmless to show random cards).
