Bry, is there nothing else you'd consider here?

Of course not. Other factors include the small stack UTG who will almost be blinded off in the next two hands. In addition, we have a BB left to act who has a nice stack.

If we call, we're going to miss the flop roughly 2/3 of the time and end up folding. This will leave us with 1225. The BB will probably end up all in HU with someone on the next hand. Some % of the time they're going to double up. 30%-40% a reasonable guess? Now we're evenly stacked and the blinds are hitting us. I hate that.

The other reason I push is because I think we have FE. Why do players min raise? Often it's because they don't want to risk their whole stack. Occasionally it's a to trap with a big hand. Could possibly be he likes his hand enough to play it for all our chips, but not the big stack next to us. If he's been doing it a moderate amount, I figure there's a good chance he's weak. Even if he's not weak, it's still very likely we have the best hand. One concern is the pot odds we're offering. If he's a good enough player that he never folds getting over 2:1 on his chips, then pushing isn't as favorable.
