I think you played it fine. You really don't want to end up folding the flop, so I like that your raise is substantial enough to build a big enough pot for a flop call. Pushing is also ok. I don't like raising much less than you did.

If you feel that way, I think pushing preflop is a must. Would you really want to feel compelled to call a bet on this flop if one of those spades was another suit?

fwiw there's nothing more I like being on the bubble or ITM in levels 5/6 because my opponents don't stand a chance. Combine pushbotting with good postflop play...I bet I have a ridiculously high win % when I'm ITM this early
