T4s is the nuts.

I dont care about the bad beat I wonder if I could play it another way? I could be up against something else.

Agreed.

But you forgot the "raise more preflop" line. 2*(limpers) + 3*BB would be a raise to 350, and if you're thinking of raising to 350 with a stack of 915 you should probably just push.

Why would you play it any other way? You got him to put all his money in the pot on the flop. That is a great thing for you.

Not agreed. If your goal is to make them fold and pick up the pot, then yea, push. If your goal is to extract maximum value with a premium hand, then you should bet as much as you think they'll call with a worse hand. Even if it does commit you, betting for value often means betting a large fraction of your stack without pushing.
