Iso push or flat call with 77 in EP facing shorties shove?

I didn't actually consider folding (perhaps foolishly). UTG is pushing super-wide. His range IMO is 22-AA (I think he shoves AA in his position, because flatting would send alarm bells to everyone else), Ax, K9+, QJ, QT & probably other suited connectors.

I'm sorry, but results aside, pushing or calling is a bad move. I agree with you on the range but exclude the low suited connectors due to the fact he's UTG. Against that range you are about 50/50 I reckon. Even if you isolate the play isn't is only marginally +EV and the risk of running into a higher pair behind is too great.

You are in EP with a marginal hand, you have to be willing to fold these sometimes.
