hmm at first id say it looks like you are getting such a good price to hit the set id want to see a flop. however, i like pushing too because you will get called by a worse hand a lot of time here.

Too risky for my tastes.

I like it. I am concerned about the min-raiser UTG, but the other 2 definitely aren't calling, and you're ahead if they do. There's a pretty good amount in the pot already. I'd be happy to take that one down right there.

In the end, it comes down to your read. If the UTG player is a habitual min-raiser and/or pays little attention to position, it's an easy push. If you think he's being tricky and alarm bells are going off, go flop a set instead.
