($??) 88 vs short stack all in . Easy call or easy fold?

Villain in this hand has been relatively passive. He limps in all of the hands he has played thus far. He has played about 35% of the hands dealt to him as well.

With your and his stack and the deadmoney I would do the same. But I think you have to push in order to force the other players out of the hand, because you really dont want to have somebody else in the pot.

Yeah you're right. As soon as I hit the call button, I realized it. Lucky for me I'm running horrible today so it doesn't matter what buttons I click lol
