No real strong reads, except that UTG is capable of folding and UTG+1 has made some loose calls recently and folded to a raise in multiway pots.

You like this push? Is my draw a little too weak? I really can't give any sort of accurate indication of the hands I am against.

Looks good, if you're not ahead you have 9 outs.

You can't be sure all those 9 outs are good. It is theoretically possible that someone flopped a straight.

However, I like the push. Top pair plus a gutshot is enough here.

Based on your stack size and reads it sounds exactly right. That 500 into a 1600 pot looks like a probe bet and/or weak continuation bet from an AK/AQ... pooooosh!!

Those who responded liked the push. What was not addressed was the fact that there was a bettor and then a cold-caller in the middle. Doesn't this make the play far less likely to work? I feel that the bettor can have a wide variaty of hands - probably a weak-ish suited ace or something like that. The caller did not raise to protect her hand. This either means that she is real weak-loose and just felt like calling with overcards, or that she has something big and she's not affriad of giving cheap cards. Thoughts?
