Default Flopped low end of straight - now what?

Live hand at $300 buy-in NL table, Hawaiian Gardens.

Blinds $3/5.

New guy to table ($400) raises to $10 UTG. UTG +2 ($250) calls. I ($400) call on the button with 7s8s.

Flop comes the delicious 9TJ rainbow.

UTG leads out $40. UTG + 2 goes all in ($235).

UTG + 2 does not worry me. He would not do this with KQ.

Do I call or push?

How can you put an unknown on exactly QQ? But if he does, a push forces him into a bad decision, a call gives him the right odds to draw out on you.

You can not flat call here. If you call you are committed. Since that is the case push. UTG calls the push if he would have called $235.

I agree with the posts here, just wanted to check though.

I did push, UTG folded, and later told me he had Kings - and would have called if I had just called!

That $300 table can be quite a donkfest.
