I dont like shoving here at all. I think we are looking at a bigger pair here a majority of the time.

Well, we're either racing or we're dominated and there's no way we can induce a fold from UTG.

All signs point to fold.

When I don't know what to do, I usually push... but that usually only applies when I feel I have some fold equity, and you don't here. You have much more equity just push botting with this stack then sticking it in here. Fold and push when it folds to you with 90% of hands.
