I'm assuming this is a 3.4 Shake. Call and expect to see KT, KJ, flush draw, or even 77+. I don't think you can get away from this. Make a note of what he's playing this way with only 8BB's left.

I think you have to call this. Not a lot of particularly great insight, but you have a strong hand that is likely ahead and owe 900 more into a 3200 chip pot.

Pot committed now, but his utg limp for that much of his stack is often a trap in my experience, especially at this stage of the stt.

Why is everyone assuming this is a snap/easy call?

Couldn't UTG have limped with AK? Just because you would raise with it, doesn't mean someone else wouldn't.

Not only is OP probably ahead most of the time he's getting something like 2.5:1 with no threat of future bets. I wouldn't snap call since the limp is a bit suspicious and villain has to expect us to call considering our lead out + stack size, but I still can't see folding this pretty much ever.

Honestly I think the correct play is a call for a few reasons ...

A) Chip stacks. You are already pretty committed and have a very strong hand considering the lack of action pre flop. I highly doubt your out kicked as a SS would probaby push big slick PRE.

b) He could easily push weak king or draw here!

c) if he got lucky with a 2 pair, then you stretch your ham-strings and hope for runner runner!

SHiP IT!

Read on UTG? If he's been pushing like a good 'un and then suddenly limps, there's a case for c/f the flop. Otherwise, what is his open limping range? Does he do it a lot - and with what kinds of hands?

Against the average shortstack-limper at this buy-in, you're ahead more often than you are behind. He has a random K, underpair, flush draw/straight draw a lot of the time.

You're getting fantastic odds against a much shorter stacked opponent, and if you win you're in a dominating position on the bubble with a shortie giving you licence to abuse.

This is a very easy call unless you have the kind of read that says "c/f the flop", which you obviously didn't because you led out.
