Push

Erratic play from utg, obv, but I think we are getting called a lot here by AK, 88-QQ just as much or more than AA or KK

wow, crazy raise from UTG.
With no reads I push this as folding + calling is very weak IMO.

This has to be JJ.

I don't want to play all my chips in a coin flip so early. No ?

Yep, can only be one hand and one hand only...

I shove here because KK and AA are pretty unlikely and there's a chance he has AJ and AQ sometimes. Flipping with overlay.

Fold, why would you risk a healthy stack for what is going to be a coinflip or worse. You are also early meaning someone else could easily call and make it a 3 way pot.

Your stack is healthy and the blinds are low, let this one go.

You have a read: villain is an idiot because he raises 8x bb. This means he could be holding anything from AK to maybe AT or a pair thats almost never AA or KK. At a low buy in you could even see crap like KQ. Don't always assume this has to be something like 88-JJ because huge raises like this in low buy-ins can be much more. Unless its a regular and you think he misclicked I'd shove.

Well put. The fact that villain did something silly should be a good enough read to make this push. It's a 16 anyways, assume most players who aren't regulars aren't so great. This is an important spot to make a note on what he has.
