Looks perfect. Shoving PF is ok too since the pot is going to be big when both call pf and any c/b is yucky.

You want to shove on this board? The only call you're going to get is a possible set, a flush, or a straight flush. Why not make a smallish raise to t375-t425 and see how UTG+1 responds. You are pushing him off of the hand and you want to build up chips before the blinds get to 60-120 etc..

I'd just call. I think any raise is going to give away your hand. If you call you stand a chance of getting another bet from UTG+1 on the turn and depending on pot size maybe then raise.

I would push with AA and KK (with one club) here so I am more than likely pushing this one too.

Calling is really bad, you give a chance for another club to fall and kill the action for a lot of hands villain has. A smallish raise is showing a lot of strength and playing differently then you would with any other hand. Disguise your hand and raise the pot which is a shove, which will entice all 2pair,pair/combo draws to call.

I'd be surprised to get a call but obviously OP did so shows what I know.

Why would you be suprised to get a call? Put yourself in villians shoes with QJ (ignore that you called a PF raise...) and post the hand. Is anyone going to tell you to fold to the all-in?
