MP1 (t1440)
MP2 (t1905)
CO (t2005)
Button (t1065)
Hero (t1535)
BB (t2240)

shove or fold depending on what you think UTG's range is. i'd probably shove

Buy-In makes a difference - but I think a shove is good here...

What's the read on this guy? Maybe it's just me but I have been seeing a lot of light raising from UTG. Basic play dictates super strong hands and my theory donks are using this to fold the table. Surprisingly this works more than one would expect, or at least than I expect. Fold or shove is definitely the play, but with a lean heavy towards fold without a solid read on his range.

Considering my range under the gun here is like 99+ (maybe 88), AK, and AQ(s?), and I'm pretty much folding only 99 and AQo, shoving TT would probably be pretty behind, since you're flipping or crushed. If utg would raise a hand like KQ, you're still flipping. Without a read that utg raises lower pairs, I'd fold here.
Close, but a fold. Also, post the goddamned buyin. At a 6.5 I'd probably instapush.

fold or push go by the read you have.
i think i'd fold for the reason cheesemoney described.

when i'm a little shortstacked i'd call (-1000t) and when it's me who raised first i'd call a push for potodds in the 6,50's

My friend posted this and is a douchebag for not posting the buyin. It was a 16
