Default $55 5handed: I min raise utg=77. Other midstack pushes utg+1. Call?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (5 handed) converter

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

BB (t1285)
<font color="#C00000">HERO (t2645)</font>
<font color="#C00000">UTG+1 (t2115)</font>
MP (t2785)
Button (t1170)

Preflop: HERO is UTG with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">HERO raises to t600</font>, utg+1 pushes, rest fold, HERO? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

There's no Sb.

No reads.

My table image is questionable. I've stolen utg+1's blinds twice in the last 4 orbits. Plus when I was a shortstack (6handed), I pushed with co=98o and sucked out.

But then again, they're probably smart enough to know that there's a good chance one of the short stacks will be calling so they should think i gota have a decent hand.

Reason I min-raise was to bait one of the small stacks to go all-in. I never expected utg+1 to push.

I'll only dominate if he has 22-66. It'll be a coin flip or I'll be dominated on all other reasonable situations.

Assuming he has AK, would you call and go for the coin flip in this situation? Why/Why not?

i open push here, this situation just becomes too tough, folding is bad, calling is bad, also i think any shortstack should realize you are committed so minraising wont really open the range of hands they call/push with.

Open push, your hand is too strong here.

this is why you should push, to avoid these hard problems.

well, that and your likely to have the best hand...
