Default 77 OTB, short stack UTG limper

This is another hand from the PFX HHs by a 2+2 pro. $300 on Stars.

Blinds 150/300/15. Donk UTG with 2500 limps. You have 7200 on the button. Both blinds have you covered. What is your play?

I'd say put in about 3bb raise and try to get isolated against the UTG. his limp probably puts him on some sc or low pp so i think you have good odds against him and you'll probably force him all in with his short stack.

raise to 1200 to isolate and fold to reraise from one of the blinds. Seems pretty standard.

Mostly depends on what kind of donk, but my default would be to fold.

Fold, really? I probably 4bb it, but shoving doesn't seem too bad as long as the blinds are reasonably tight.

Hero actually pushed and got called by one of the blinds with AJo.

The push seemed a little reckless to me as the short stack could be trapping plus the blinds could have big hands. I would probably limp behind or fold.

Pushing does seem pretty bad. If I just sat down at this table I would fold. But if UTG previously showed any sign that he's bad enough to limp-fold for 1/8th of his stack, then I'd be comfortable raising to 1k or so.

i call here. are you making this fold if this were cash but everything else is the same? Maybe i just flop more sets than everyone else. And yeah, it depends on what kind of donk this is, but i mostly limp.
