Is this a little too loose?

I like this call. There is no reason to believe he is holding a monster or even anything but a draw, so your aces are good, and you may already be ahead. Besides, you can take the loss. This is a good time to gamble.

first thing I think you should call because you have 12 outs and there is good money out there. Second I would have pushed this flop right off the bat.
