I dont know all that much on any of the players as I was playing 3 other games and am not great at taking this into account while I am playing other tables. Advice on how to improve this.

Was I correct to raise so much preflop when I am in the SB, am i crying out that I have AA or KK?
Was the push the correct thing to do on a board like that when I know that I will more than likely only get called by trips and possibly the flush draw and AA but I was pretty sure no one had this, maybe someone would call with AT but unlikely holding with such a preflop raise.
Is a check on the flop better in this position do u think or a smaller bet?

Edited title: to say push all in on flop!!

I play it the same. You're not getting away from this- i'm not anyway. Any bet has you pot-committed. You've little choice but to lead out after a pre-flop raise like that. QQ and JJ probably call. Possibly A10. Nut flush draw is well priced in with 12 likely outs. Unlucky if someone hit a set. Hopefully you're racing them cowboys and they hold up
