I'd love some reads here.

As if I fold, you're about a flip with UTG+1's range, which I'd love to take of course, except UTG is more of a threat here than dead money.

If you have a read that UTG opens light, I can shove.

I think calling here is OK. But I'm not that sure. Pushing seems to risky and folding is entirely too weak given the circumstances.

Call > push > fold. But I could be wrong, this is a weak spot of mine.

if he does choose to call, i dont see how we could fold for only 6k more...or are you counting on him just calling?

I don't think calling is an option, what do you do if UTG overpushes, if he flat calls and leads an A or K hi flop. IMO its either push/fold.

I'd love to have reads here too, but really neither of them had done anything noteworthy in the short time I was seated with them.

I only see the options to push or fold as well. Why seems "pushing too risky"? If we just call and OR pushes I see no way to get out of this hand any more, getting more than 2:1 ... so we can just push immediately.

But as KneeCo said, without reads on UTG I would just let this one go ... you have a healthy stack and can wait for some better spot.

I think I'm throwing this away. I like a jam to iso here against weaker ranges, but unless you have a read on light UTG raises (very possible), go for it.

I'd push here - you have FE against the OR and should within villain2's range, with some dead money in the pot.
this looks like a +EV play for me.

I don't have pokerstove on me to run the ranges, but this an UTG Raise readless and an UTG+1 Jam readless.

Yeah you'll make a lot of hands fold if you jam here, but more hands in this range are calling and not being HU here is -EV.
