UTG+1 is the player i'm more worried about. Once he folds i still feel pretty good about getting it in, and i don't see a lot of guys who pot it into a reraiser multi way folding to your shove.

PF standard I assume. I was planning to basically set mine unless something like this flop action came.

Ya this is fine.
I might call this flop because it could be more +EV, but since he potted I'm just going to assume he has an OP which he isn't folding.

Yeah I figured KK or AA might stick in a rr preflop, but if they didn't they sure aren't full potting into the field and since no one pots to fold....stick it in.

Preflop I play the same way. On the flop once UTG+1 folds, there's virtually zero chance your hand isn't good. UTG is obviously not an upper-echelon MTT player, I don't know if you have a better chance of getting that type of person to call a shove or second barrel the turn. A flat call here looks highly suspicious, but perhaps not to a person who bet pot into someone who min-raised an UTG raiser. I think you could flip a coin on calling or shoving.

I think its a clear shove rather than call. If we're gonna call, its not to peel a card for a pot sized bet and make a decision, its because we think calling gets him to barrel worse. Because of the texture of the board, more cards can only hurt me so its a shove now imo.
