2 pair on a low flop is good enough for me with the utg limping &amp; no reads..

The only hands you're losing to on the flop are SB with 53/64/62, or UTG with 66.
It's so unlikely to see 44/22.

The SB leading out tells me he's either throwing his stack at a low flop or he paired...
If he's holding 22/44/66/64/62 he'll usually check.
I would just shove this after pretending to think about it.

UTG's shove is good for you because it let the SB know he's behind.
If UTG flopped a set, or turn/rivered a set or aces up, etc... oh well IMHO.

SB is probably just leading the flop to try and take the pot, since it probably didn't hit anybody. He can afford to try to take a few pots away from people near the bubble. UTG's most likely hand with this action is KK or AA. Other pairs would almost certainly play for a raise (or more likely a shove) 5 handed. That limp/shove looks a whole lot like a monster pair who thinks he's just trapped Hero.

vnh OP. I play it the same. There are so many hands that bet into you on the flop that raising is best and after getting repopped there's too many hands that reraise you that even if you had poor pot odds you're getting it in.
