I called villian's preflop raise because i knew he would get married to a hand like AK with an A or K flopped, and couldn't lay down QQ, KK, AA. I called to mix it up a little and hopefully play for his stack with a big flop.
Here's the hand.

PokerStars Game #5040754310: Hold'em No Limit ($0.10/$0.25) - 2006/05/24 - 18:54:30 (ET)
Table 'Albireo III' 6-max Seat #6 is the button
Seat 1: Haeresis ($59.50 in chips)
Seat 2: Bidicha ($15.10 in chips)
Seat 3: nicolitag ($19.05 in chips)
Seat 4: TheMoore ($25.60 in chips)
Seat 6: Jethro87 ($31.10 in chips)
Haeresis: posts small blind $0.10
Bidicha: posts big blind $0.25
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Jethro87 [5s 7s]
nicolitag: raises $1.25 to $1.50
TheMoore: folds
Jethro87: calls $1.50
Haeresis: folds
Bidicha: folds
*** FLOP *** [6h Ks 4s]
kirca joins the table at seat #5
nicolitag: bets $2.50
Jethro87: raises $27.10 to $29.60 and is all-in
nicolitag: calls $15.05 and is all-in
*** TURN *** [6h Ks 4s] [Ah]
*** RIVER *** [6h Ks 4s Ah] [8h]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
nicolitag: shows [Kd Ac] (two pair, Aces and Kings)
Jethro87: shows [5s 7s] (a straight, Four to Eight)
Jethro87 collected $36.55 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $38.45 | Rake $1.90
Board [6h Ks 4s Ah 8h]
Seat 1: Haeresis (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 2: Bidicha (big blind) folded before Flop
Seat 3: nicolitag showed [Kd Ac] and lost with two pair, Aces and Kings
Seat 4: TheMoore folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 6: Jethro87 (button) showed [5s 7s] and won ($36.55) with a straight, Four to Eight

I'm really not 2 sure i played it right on the flop. I know i'm ahead with 15 outs with the range i put him on...

Board: 6h Ks 4s
equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 53.0079 % 53.01% 00.00% { 7s5s }
Hand 2: 46.9921 % 46.99% 00.00% { QQ+, AKs, AKo }

But should i have pushed on the flop? If i just call and miss the turn, what's my play? Comments, suggestions??

You could make a standard flop raise instead of pushing, but pushing gives you a bit more FE in this spot. You have a monster draw here, I'm definitely looking to get my chips in on this flop.
