UTG is a maniac, loves to get involved in big pots and I noticed he minbet his strong hands, hoping for someone to raise over the top. Is my play the optimal way to approach such a player?

Lead out on the flop here with your combo draw.

I really hate the push: pretty unlikely even the K-high flush is willing to call this.

Take the lead on the flop and go from there.

Leading pot on the flop is your play because the times when nobody has a hand, you win automatically, and the times they do, like now, you guarantee more money goes into the pot for when you hit. Then I would bet again when I hit etc. But FWIW someone said the K-high flush wasn't going to call you here, thats ludicrous, ANY FLUSH will call your all in here, along with most people with sets.

...I wouldn't...I'd nearly instamuck.
