UTG Hand- Can I just raise this?

Hello 2+2,

Long time lurker, first time poster.
This is a hand I played over the weekend in a MTT at Seabrook Greyhound park in NH:

30 +1 re-buy tourney
110 or so runners
This hand takes place shortly after rebuy period. New to table, only read is on MP who seems solid.

10 Handed 400-800 Blinds
Hero(~t6000) UTG with 10's raises to t2500
UTG+1 calls all-in for t2200
3 folds
MP all-in for t2800
3 folds
BB(~t5000) calls

Flop comes a raggy 9 high, my play?

Yeh, push the flop. You are probably ahead and there is no reason to give a free card.

Yeah, there's only another 2000 chips on the table anyway, it's just BB who isn't all in and he's only got 2200 left in front of him, and the pot is over 10k. There's no reason to do anything but push this.

Also, push preflop.

go ahead and bet push the over cards out. No need to check down here. Just maybe he will fold JJ or such a hand figuring your betting with players all in you must have a big hand

Push the flop for obvious reasons.

And pre-flop you should have gone all-in. The raise you made with your vulnerable hand commited you to the pot.

Not pushing preflop seems kind of silly, but the difference in expectation between pushing and standard raising in this situation is very slight.

Thanks guys.

Although it feels like a standard push, this is one of those hands that I have thought about all week. Does anyone find a fold here pf being UTG ?

Not with your stack / blinds.
