This hand just came up in the 11r and I felt like it needed to be raised but was uncertain as to how much.... Soo... I pushed!

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t1225</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t10930</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, UTG folds.

Final Pot: t12330

UTG raiser was a bit loose of late but has accumulated chips that way. For example he just called a SS UTG+1 Push for 5 BB with JTs.

My reasoning for pushing was 2 fold. I didn't want to CALL an over the top reraise from UTG if I made it to say 3600.

Also, if I made it 3600 and he calls I am only left with about 7200, enough for a pot sized bet/call. I am getting allin on virtually any flop anyways so why not push PF.

Is just calling ever right in this situation????

If you were to just reraise NOT All in. To what amount? My thoughts were to reraise to around 3600.
