over 30% chance of hitting + fold equity + shorter stack - some chance of higher flush (especially if two clubs fall) = o.k. to push your stack

i don't have this much courage. i think i hate to be eliminated but i think it's a smart play (probably really depends on the chance of everyone folding).

I would probably move allin, yes. You cant be too picky when you are shortstacked, and the prospect of picking up 200 chips uncontested is extremely tempting.

btw another important note....the 30% number is a bit whack. If you are up against something like A9 or an overpair, you will win the hand when all is said and done, about 40% of the time. If someone calls you with middle pair like 66, then ylou will win about 46% of the time. In all I thnik its a relatively simple push. The biggest nightmare is a higher flush draw, in which case you are winning only about 20% of the time.
