I think this is mostly an EV calculation, but my default play is to raise/push the flop. There's so much dead money that you would gladly take it down right there. I also fold this preflop. But the numbers might make your line better...

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point

Pretty balsy call there preflop. They're connectors but not even suited. Assuming no-one else hit their straight, you'll be facing PP in the worst case scenario. So you got nice odds to beat those. 8 outs on the straight, 2 outs for a set, 3 outs for two pair. I think with TP and a double-barreled straight draw, you should push hard, possibly even all-in on the flop.

With 2 all-ins, you still got good odds there to call here I guess. Assuming an overpair, and that a straight, set or 2 pair will take it home, you got 48.1% to hit. That's a cointoss, but considering your share into the pot, worth it. Mathematically. There's ofcourse still that 51.9% that you'll be out that $185.
