lotta chips out there to steal...

Indeed. 25% of my stack. If I'm called I'm rarely in a terrible shape. If anyone else liked their hand they'd have raised unless UTG is getting tricksy, but that's what reads are for. Barring any, or if UTG is a known fish, the chips are going in.

I wouldn't even mind to be called by KQ or some other crap, not saying I'd particularly love it, but it could be a lot worse.

Wipe this from your mind.....

I like the push line as well. You have plenty of folding equity and you pick up a good amount of chips.

Given that you played it the way you did up to the river, you have to fold.

While you likely do have the best hand on the turn, it's a tough spot to bet in because of the situation you found yourself in here: you commit a good amount of your stack, and if you get called you're OOP and pretty much have to check the river unless you spike a 7. If I have position on the other 2, maybe I do it. Here I wouldn't have.
