Are you joking? Snap call, you're getting 3.34:1 and you have an OESFD on the flop. You're 2:1 to make your flush alone, with your 15 out draw you're just about even money to hit and getting a huge overlay. I'd fold this PF though, and typically just pot the flop.

I wasn't considering folding. I was wondering if there was any advantage in shoving to try and knock out UTG+1.

I shove flop. Villain probably won't fold but I would hate to have to make a tough decision if you miss the turn out of position.

[/ QUOTE ]This is very wrong thinking. Why would you want to knock out UTG+1? If you hit an out you win against either player (usually) and if you don't hit you have 0 showdown value. You WANT UTG+1 in the pot.

I think this makes the decision here a lot closer than the other posters make it out to be. If hero were IP this would be a call. However, with the dead money, OOP, and a UTG+1 who has a good chance of calling I think I go with the push camp.

RAH, you fold this preflop for only 1BB more?? wtf

[ajmargarine]

Yeah, push it. Reload preflop. No need to overbet flop either.

[DerFleisch]

Given whatever table conditions are at any particular time (assuming both me and the PFRer both have ~100 BB stacks), I will call a PF minraise with any hand I would have called the BB with.

Is this too far out of line, as a GENERAL rule?

You are short stacked, this is a beyond easy push.
