Default Re: Keeping opponents in when they are drawing thin - how bad?

[ QUOTE ]
SB checks. BB bets. UTG raises. UTG+1 cold-calls, perhaps expecting UTG or UTG+1 to reraise w/ a worse Ten. LP cold-calls. Button and SB fold. BB calls.

This is a little confused.

Since UTG+1 is shortstacked, calling is obviously correct when he flops such a huge hand. Raising would be terrible. Even on the turn I don't like UTG+1's raise all-in. I think calling would be better, although I'm open to persuasion on that point.

Note that these questions about how to play when short-stacked are often susceptible to precise mathematical calculation.
