I shove because I hate miniraises.

But seriously, shove seems okay since he has done it multiple times before. Against someone who normally does not miniraise, this is a fold since it's likely a monster. And again, miniraises are gay so shove.

This was how I felt, and shoved. Results are entirely unimportant, as I was unsure throughout on the optimal line. My feeling is that the better move may be to call, and shove any flop that hits us (T high, A high, two diamonds, straight draw), etc, and c/f UI against UTG range. Obviously we're stuck if we're against AK or AQ and the flop comes A high but whatever. Just seems not to be an ideal spot to try to make a move, and a fit-or-fold the flop strategy may be best.

I like this line as well. It's only 1 blinds to call and you're pretty deep. The Minraise UTG is the classic AA move, so if we hit an A high flop, at least AA is much less likely and we're probably best (I doubt AK minraises).

You're getting 4:1. Honestly, I call a A TON of hands getting those odds hoping to stackadonk with AA. Call, speculate, go from there. I don't think it's that big a deal because at worst we're only losing 11 blinds if villian has AA on a Txx flop.
