 Raise to at least .20 preflop.

On the flop i would raise the pot after i raised to .2 preflop.

It's not a bad play since somebody bet already and not only a flush draw but a straight draw. Somebody could easily call preflop with AQ/AJ/QJ. With all those people in the hand, I think a push is fine.

 1. Re-raise more preflop

2. Raise less on the flop - all-in is not necessary here to protect your hand.

I prefer overbetting like a mofo at these stakes...

raise to ~.25 preflop (in tighter games .2 is good, but I like closer to .25 here since after the first one calls they all are going to also...)

raise to about 1.5x the pot size on the flop and push the turn on a safe card.

No fear, go deep or go home!

I also think the flop push is a bit to aggro. I do think you need to overbet though. I probably raise to the pot.

Meh. Since this is the penny tables I don't hate your push. Just realize that as you move up in stakes you cannot just go all in with the nuts and expect to get paid off everytime. You definitely gotta reraise more preflop. Make it $0.20-0.30 to go. You want to isolate it to one caller if possible.
