We have $37 left. BB is 40/2/0.11, no stats on UTG+1 but seems like typical shortstack kamikaze, bought in for $20.

I don't mind shoving, but I prefer checking to see what the action is. I imagine UTG+1 is shoving most of the time, so you can get a read off BB when he calls/folds/repots to the shove.

A good player will take a free card with a flush draw or straight draw here. Don't let them. Just shove it in.

You committed your stack when you 4bet preflop. Not a great flop, but shove anyways. FWIW I often just call in spots like that preflop because raising $15 more, with still fairly deep stacks and out of position (as well as turning our hand face up) usually ends poorly for us.

FWIW, I hoped to lose the BB and SB when I 4-bet it preflop. They cold called $3 each, and I knew that UTG+1 wasn't going anywhere, but I thought if I could dump those two big stacks out of there, I'd be all in vs. UTG+1 (especially if he'd shovelled over top). Does that thought process make sense?

Repotting preflop is mandatory. You can get 1/3 of your stack in with decent aces preflop. That is more than enough.

Yeh, I shoved, they both called. One guy had a T, the other guy had KK. gg stack. Oh well, with $37 left in to that size of a pot, I thought wtf, might as well.
