I don't mind gambling. The push is probably +200 chips, so it is better than folding. You make a big stack often by gambling.

The question is whether raising and playing the hand is more cEV+ than open pushing. If you raise, you get away from some situations where the action indicates you are dominated. You also get pushes from overcards where you are a little ahead and a few from underpairs and other hands where you are significantly ahead. When you play the flop, you are often OOP. You may are going to have high flops where you don't know what to do. You may get your money in ahead on low flop, when people put you on high cards and try to take the pot.

I think if you play well, raising is best. If you had TT, raising would definately be best.

I really am not crazy about pushing 15xBB UTG in general. You kind of give out too much information without getting any information before making your decision. I like overbet open pushes much better from late position or the SB.
