Once BB calls the push, I'm done with the hand.

It's more interesting if BB had folded. Then I'd just have to go with my read. TT is just not very strong in this situation, it's too likely to already be beat, and highly vulnerable to draws.

This is the not g00t push becase you not have a draw and the 2 harts tells you that bad guy has flush draw. I am thinking best play is fold.

I like your play. With TT, I don't think you can realistically be afraid of a higher PP with this small a field. Yes, there is a flush draw on the board but you have Th, reducing the odds of someone else having already made a flush.

With your chip lead, you can afford to make this very reasonable play and stand to make quite a bit when it hits.

Ya, I agree with Pineapple. An all-in and a call and only holding a overpair...well...you know you're facing one flush draw the other hand...you don't know. He could have two pair, trips, or a pair of jacks. And besides, sometimes the flush will come in.

With it folded to you, then it becomes more interesting. Everyone knows now that if someone goes all-in on the flop, usually they have a flush draw. So it's tempting to call.

Unless you have a big stack, I'd fold when someone goes all-in and gets called.

I'm not sure if I'd call it if I had lowest two pair. I probably would, but I wouldn't feel good about it.
