BB: t1065 5.33 BBs
UTG: t609 3.04 BBs
MP: t2572 12.86 BBs
CO: t3540 17.70 BBs
Hero (BTN): t3394 16.97 BBs
SB: t2320 11.60 BBs

Pre Flop: (t300) Hero is BTN with 7 of hearts K of diamonds
UTG raises to t609 all in, 2 folds, Hero raises to t3394 all in, SB calls t2220 all in, 1 fold

Flop: (t5449) Q of diamonds 8 of hearts A of clubs (3 players - 3 are all in)

Turn: (t5449) 4 of diamonds (3 players - 3 are all in)

River: (t5449) 4 of hearts (3 players - 3 are all in)

In this hand UTG has 3 BB and he has to move all in with any two - I decided to shove since the only player that can hurt me is the SB and he will need to call off his entire stack with a very strong hand only.

I am getting 1.5 to 1 if I go heads up and my K7o is ahead of any two cards range - a loss of 600 will not affect me drastically. The BB will be getting about 3 to 1 on a call - but I really do not mind him calling since I will have the option to eliminate 2 players right there if I hit a King (most probably).

So my question is - is it worth the risk?

Also should i do this move with let us say Ax - if my stack and SB stacks were reversed (I have 2K he has 3K for example)?

Thanks in Advance guys!

Why UTG has to shove any2? You should really rethink that logic. It is true he should shove quite wide with 3bb 6 handed, but not even closely any2. After all he can just take next hand and hope for decent hand to call with.

Lets assume we have spot on read on UTG and he is shoving any2. With quite tight over calling ranges(6% and 8%) for blinds isolation shove show small profit. But that is with pretty optimal assumptions so this is fold.

With hand like KTo I would be happy to play. Again we shoud think is it better to just call or isolate shove. Is SB ever messing in this spot without stong hand if hero just call?
