UTG had limped in UTG at level 2 with Q2s; UTG+1 is a substantial winner, don't know if 2p2 or not, had seen few flops.

Is this a push?

[chuckpalms04]

definitely not.

[holy32]

hmm... if UTG+1 is a winner, why is he limping behind here ? Only thing I can think of is QQ+...

btw: he def isn't 2p2 if he doesn't push/fold there

I agree....

For T75, this is a reasonable investment for a call FOR SET VALUE. 2 callers, plus some likelihood that the BB is going to check against so many (or do the sandwich play...and then you have to throw away anyway), I like the idea of gambling just a little, with a go or no go strategy on the flop. There is a real possibility that if you hit your set, you may be able to pull in quite a few chips, if not stack opponent(s). I call and let this one play out on the flop.

Let's say we're in the CO or button here, what stack size for Hero (if any) makes this a push?
