Typical Tourist 1/2 NLHE game.
UTG Straddles
UTG +1 (his friend) lightly raises to $15, my spidy weakness detector is screaming. He's got like $600 and running good. Bets a lot of flops.
I re-raise to $45 with :Ac: :Ts:
Ohhhh.... big hand says the lemmings as they all fold to UTG+1 who is really thinking about folding but makes the spite call.
Flop is :Ah: 
UTG+1 quickly splashes about $50 into the pot. I have around $200 behind and go all-in.
How'd I do?

I'm really confused. Is this for value or a bluff? And if it's for value wtf?

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Am I happy with this line if he's betting out any piece of the flop?
With pot behind, I like to stick it in and am happy to fold out a bunch of outs.

meh i think you are pretty happy to peel against 5 and 2 outs hands if theres a good chance they'll spew off to you.

I think the push is good. you've now made the pot $345 and it's $150 to call.
I don't see the point in having a $195 pot, see the turn card, with only $150 behind.

you don't see the point in calling so the stacks/pot will be perfectly aligned for villain to push his entire range?

If a scare card hits and he checks, what is our play?
