SB is 28/15 and is playing on 3 of my tables. I only have 317 hands logged against him but I assume he's decent. Its possible he's a semi-regular but I'm not sure since Geek Squad killed my database this month and only have 50k hands at 400NL. Then again, the minraise was kinda fishy so maybe hes not decent.

Reasoning for the overbet was that I'd pay off the flopped flush or hope for a pair. If he has anything else, he seems to like it so I'd like to push and keep him in before another club scares us both away and hopefully I look like a flush draw. Good play or am I only getting called by better hands and scaring away good action? Table was playing somewhat aggressive.

To me he's protecting a set or baby flush.

I'd most likely side with the latter.

I'd make a raise to $200 and call a push, but i guess open pushing is alright too. He could easily have AA/KK with a club or something, as well as a lower set or AcQx. If he flopped a flush we're still not far behind, so I'm getting my money in here all day.

Unless there is significant history between you two or he has seen you make these huge overbets with a draw, this kind of thinking is pretty useless imo. That being said, I don't really like your line. I'd much rather raise to $175 and take it from there. Pushing just lets him make the least amount of mistakes. If he was leading with a hand like AK/AQ with a club, hoping to b/3b AI, then he most likely will fold if you raise to 600, but he prob will shove if you make it 175. Also, I don't think you really have to worry about him flat calling your raise if you pop it up to 175, since he will shove or fold most of the time since the pot is getting huge and he is oop.
