Should I play this differently?

This is a toughie, not much information to go on, but I push at a 27 (unless I have a read that UTG is unlikely to min-raise pre-flop unless he has Aces).

UTG is the big stack, so he's expected to make a continuation bet post-flop. Meanwhile, CO is small stack, so he's pushing with anything or nothing with so much in the middle already.

Push and hope to isolate the shortie.

I tend to push this one preflop hoping to pick up the 375 of dead money.

Oops, forgot about that part. Agree with the push, again with the exception of putting UTG on Aces.

Good read guys, thanks..

UTG had 53o and turned trip 3s &amp; shortie had kQ high.
I was weary about the UTG raise, but no read I should have pushed.

Notice the stack sizes involved. One has chips to burn and the other is looking at a nice pile of chips in the middle to chase after. As for UTG having a monster (your only real fear is that he generally only minraising monsters) you likely know already or at least know something about him sinc he has 3k chips. If not you can still stick your chips in here on the flop, IMO.

Your hand is v solid here and there are plenty of dead chips and FE vs. the biggy.

I like the pf call, no need to raise the big stack... see the flop cheaply. Not sure what you did on the flop... looks like you checked, then utg bet and shorty pushed. I think shorty pushed b/c he was scared of flush... so my guess is that he has an over pair or 2 pair... possibly a set... I say fold w/ 2 people interested in pot before you... this can't be good... 1 person interested... bet immediately to see where you stand... IMO.
