I like a push. You are much more likely to be called down by crap preflop than postflop (in my experience).

This is not a compelling argument for pushing now at all. Winning this pot without contest is much more attractive to me than getting K9 in there.

Also, pushing ensures that you will see all five cards. Sometimes you'll get outplayed on the flop (if you only call) when you whiff, and that sucks.

Because you get to go first on the flop, it will be hard to be outplayed when you whiff if your plan is to bet.
