You did fine. Don't want to give scoot315 a chance at a cheap turn card if he's got over cards.

puuush it.

push preflop, you want to isolate shortie and the dead money in the pot and avoid giving scoot315 a free shot at a good flop.

I completely agree. Push it in preflop.

Ditto, plus if both hands contain an ace or king then it's better for you to get them to call PF anyway, right?

Looks like Taylor has AA , so you are unlikely to win anything already on the table. Betting the $54.35 does what? Reduces the field, but the flop doesn't nurture a calling hand. What if Scoot hit his small pair for trips?? A $10 bet would tell you that if he raises back at you. It would save you $44 as well.
From where I'm sitting you had everything to lose and nothing to gain. IMO

I like push it in preflop too.

the problem is by betting $10 you're asking for someone to push you off your hand. The pot is already $60... and the other villain has $55 left.
