Not how I would have played here. UTG+1 has also got a short stack, and he's limping. usually this is just a sign that the guy is a loose passive player with only a vague idea of how to play the game, but his stats don't indicate that and it's not worth risking your chips here falling into a trap.

Some people with short stacks think if they have a strong hand with a short stack they should limp, and then get all their chips in against the guy who raised them. I've seen it plenty of times, and without a read on the UTG+1 player I'd err on the side of caution.

Folding pre is the best option imo

With all that money in the pot and being ahead of UTG+1's range and having great equity against callers, never fold 66 here. You have barely any fold equity but it doesn't matter with a hand like this. I'm shoving quite wide here cause we are so short and it's a great place to pick up dead money.

Hey Cragster24!

I want to officially welcome you on pokerstrategy.com hand evaluation boards! Keep posting and hopefully you can improve your game with the help of the community and the hand evaluators!

Its imo a very easy shove unless you have some sick kind of bubblefactor! You should be able to win a decent pot with nice equity against a normal limping range!

Greets,
Tiltberger
