Re: 55 UTG
I can see different lines on this depending on reads and the table, but it's a borderline shove IMO. Once in a long time I'll see a person give away strength when looking at their cards, or notice a few people look at their cards and genuinely look displeased/disinterested, and it can make it a slightly easier shove or sway me towards folding, but with nothing to go on, I think it's a very borderline shove.
Sometimes if I'm playing with a bunch of people who know I should shove or fold, I feel like I can make the unusual play of raising and getting more fold equity than a shove, because all sorts of alarms go off in their heads and I'm representing a big pair that wants a call. They think "he knows he should fold or shove, we all know he should fold or shove... he *must* have a big hand and he wants a call!", and so against a table of these guys, I feel like I actually have more FE making a committing raise rather than just moving in.
