Default Re: Hand from the Sunday Million

I shove with everything except the big pairs, which I call with. UTG does not have to have a good hand here because he is so short, and you're likely crushing him. The pot is large enough that you don't want to fool around by calling and letting someone else outflop you, or bet on the flop with a draw and force you to fold, or raise you out preflop with a hand possibly worse than yours, like AJ or AT. There's very little chance that any of the remaining four players have you beat, and if they have a lower pair you can get them out by shoving.
