Important! Next hand blinds will go up to 750/1500. Really difficult hand imo.

I say fold here preflop.

tough one but I would be tempted to call this pre flop and hope to check it down.
BB is all in and only one big stack and even he wont really want to risk too much with only 4BB.
My guess is that on flop, only someone with nuts or thereabouts would bet although obv you never know.
Or fold and hope UTG actually has a monster.
As UTG has called and he can bust everyone, nobody is going to raise unless they have a really good hand so call is ok imo.

you only have 2BB left you have to shove here calling will just get more people in to the pot and decraeses you're chance of winning the pot.

on flop you need to call you probably still got 7 to 10 outs when you're beat at the moment while the potodds are 3 to 1.

What's important here is simply making sure that the BB does not win the hand. UTG's bet is awful and costs everyone at the table $$'s apart from the BB.

AKs and whatever UTG holds will win the pot versus a random hand about
80% of the time. I think this is preferable to risk being blinded out and therefore your PF call is good. I might even call on the flop since only an idiot would bet and such an idiot might even bluff in such a spot.

What did the UTG donkey hold?

lol i said that on dutch forum first. but you are allin on the SB since blinds are going up. so this makes the situation more interesting.

in my opinion a shove is best here cause you create a 3way allin with the shorty. so 2 people who could bust shorty. and if you dont bust shorty you could win from bigstack and don`t be allin on the blinds.

Given my absolute lack of DoN knowledge I'm going to have to pass the mantle on this...
