I don't know the exact situation, but why not just call?

Raising isn't an option. Flop comes Q92 and someone bets out, you have to fold.

Don't really like the call either but it is an option.

I think pushing here is a good play. You could probably isolate the short stack and either have him dominated or be a coin flip. If you lose, well you still have enough chips left to get back in the game and if you win, you're chip lead and can proceed to bully the table.

Reward > Risk

i ended up pushing and i believe the UTG who flat called had Queens ... or one of those two had queens and the other had 9s

anyway ... nothing came up for me and i busted ... oh well, thats the way the cookie crumbles
