Default $11 AJs with a good draw

I'm sure there will be lots of "fold pf" responses, which I understand. For whatever reason, I felt there was a good chance I could see a cheap flop, so I took a stab at that. Feel free to criticize preflop, but please comment on the flop as played.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t3100)
UTG+1 (t1560)
Hero (t1160)
CO (t1835)
Button (t2740)
SB (t1985)
BB (t1120)

Preflop: Hero is in MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t100, Hero calls t100, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, SB calls t50, BB checks

Flop: (t400) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="red">UTG+1 bets t400</font>, <font color="red">Hero?

I think we must push flop

If UTG is a donkey (which I'm guessing he is), then I push this pf. If he's solid, I fold this pf.

Limping is probably the one play I would not do with these stacks.

Sparta - I understand the push/fold pf thought. Nonetheless, now that I got myself in this situation and UTG put out a pot sized bet on the flop, do you push or fold (calling can't possibly be a good option)?

Now that you're in this situation....since you have the nut flush draw, gut shot draw, 1 overcard.....I'd push.

Pokerstoving and giving villian a range of 99+,AQs+,KJs+,JTs,AQo+,KJo+,JTo puts you at 43% to win assuming you're heads up. If there's a chance he'll fold to your push (10+% or so if my math is correct - and it seems this way given he's leaving 1000 or so behind), all-in push is prob the best play.

That's not taking into account the blinds. Interestingly, if you give one of the blinds the same exact range, you move to 40%, but the others move to 30%.

At this buy-in, my ranges are prob conservative too, giving you better odds.

So push... cool hand...
