Poker odds question #2

[ChuckTs]

Question #2 (10/20 NLHE):
(again forget about implied odds until i mention it, unless you really want to, be my guest)

Someone has raised 4XBB before the flop with what you are almost %100 sure is a middle pair (99-77, for whatever reason you have a perfect read on him) and one player has called as well as you with KQo, from the button. Both blinds fold.

Flop comes: J-T-6 rainbow
Preflop raiser then bets $135, preflop caller folds, and it's up to you.

What is your move based on pot odds and why?

again, if you need hand odds, or other odds information:

Ok, lets assume the blinds are not involved in the hand and the callers are middle position

There is $250 in the pot after the flop and you have an open-ended straight draw with 2 overcards

He bets $135, taking the pot to $385 and its costing you, roughly, 1/4 the pot to call (slightly more). You have 14 outs to top pair and nut flush draws, making you a 54% favourite to take down the pot

I would be making move here and coming over the top of this player. His bet looks very weak (1/3 the pot) and I would be pushing

It is possible to flat call but if you miss your odds of taking the pot down will obviously halve and you may not get the odds to play on the turn

I would be pushing and taking the pot down, which is already pretty nice
