I don't push in that situation, but I will make a healthy raise, maybe to about $9. Too often everyone will fold to your push.

No it's not. This is a horrible push imo. You're only getting called if you're beat in this situation (which SB probably dropped a set on you) and you have a flush draw out there. You make a decent size raise and play the hand out. You caught a nice river, but you're spewing chips by pushing here.

30 hands into this session and i'd also make a more modest raise (probably $5-6)... too many times a push will only be called by a set. But at 25NL, first hand at the table, this huge overbet looks horrible and i think will get called by worse hands pretty often.

Yes, and when I played them my BB/100 was over 60 for 5K hands. Yes, 60. I know these tables well.

AK wouldnt call this push? Are you joking? KJ would call this push! Great push imo.
