Default 4/180 88 vs flop shove.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

BB (t3045)
UTG (t960)
UTG+1 (t2200)
Hero (t2345)
MP2 (t4190)
CO (t4090)
Button (t3954)
SB (t3707)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG posts a blind of t100.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t300</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls t300, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG (poster) calls t200.

Flop: (t950) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t660 (All-In)</font>, Hero ??

Villian just got moved to the table, and hasn't played a hand short of checking the BB. What kind of hands does he do this with AK, AQ and pairs? Maybe some completely random stone cold bluff? Do we fold?

I'm confused, UTG folded how is he still in the hand?

It's likely a conversion error, the hand however definately happened.

Hard to say vs unknowns, but I'd fold. You're probably against a QJ, QT, KQ, AQ, etc...possibly even Ax trying to steal or another pocket pair even. Unless I had "a feeling" though, I'm almost always folding this.

UTG did not fold, he posted the dead blind. UTG+1 folded instead.

You are getting close to 2.5-1 to call and you aren't even close to that against villians range. Plus there is another person to act. Villian's range is probably 66+, AK,QJ,QT,QK,QA at best case. That range gives us 3-1 and that's closer than I thought it would be but it's still a fold.

This should to be more of a math answer than anything else really.

Most villains are not doing this with air. The worst hand I expect to see from him (that you beat) is 44-77 and that's really stretching it. It's possible that he may do this with AK.

But with two players in the hand, I expect UTG to have something and usually something better than us. With only two likely outs, I fold, expecially with button behind me.

Hero has 20 BBs left. Save them for a better spot.
