Default Re: small stakes-facing blind bets from button and SB, when I\'m UTG

If they're anything like the two nuts at my game, I either fold or push preflop. Probably fold, as I'll find better opportunities later. 88 doesn't play well short stacked against two opponents.

As played, it depends on your reads. If you think he's on a draw, then you can call this tiny flop bet and push on the turn. Or just raise now. He's likely going to call if he has any piece of it, so it's up to you how much variance you like. Or fold preflop so that you don't find yourself in these difficult positions.

thanks for the response. i ended up calling the $5 utg that made everyone but the button and BB fold (the original two who out $5 in). on a JJ2 flop i just shoved after the $3 bet. turned out he was on a heart draw and i won the pot.

Well, I qualified by saying if they were like the maniacs in my game, they'd both call, and I know I can just wait and get the same thing when I hold QQ. But you noticed I had "push" as a preflop option, too. I would never just call.
