This is at the end of my 2nd orbit at the table and I haven't seen UTG play a hand.

If he folded in obv steal spots with his short stack I probably fold here as he was waiting for a premium. Raising less than all in UTG with less than 10BB's puts you a dog to the range. Its close because he doesn't hurt you that much if you lose, but I see no reason to get involved.

I think that often this is a hand like A9o or a smallish pair. He's really stealing with a little value, but not strong enough to really want a re-raise by opening smaller. I think as low as 88 are turbo jams, but 55 doesn't dominate anything he does this with except a couple of low pairs which isn't enough of his range to feel great about pushing here.
