Hello, ran into this situation today.

888 Poker - $0.90+$0.10|50/100 Ante 10 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 12.75 BB (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 14.77, 3Bet Preflop: 4.55, Hands: 159)
UTG: 22.37 BB (VPIP: 14.29, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 14)
UTG+1: 22.96 BB (VPIP: 70.00, PFR: 5.75, 3Bet Preflop: 2.70, Hands: 90)
MP: 13.65 BB (VPIP: 14.29, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 14)
CO: 28.87 BB (VPIP: 64.29, PFR: 7.14, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 14)
Hero (BTN): 21.75 BB
SB: 12.65 BB (VPIP: 4.26, PFR: 4.44, 3Bet Preflop: 7.69, Hands: 48)

7 players post ante of 0.1 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.2 BB) Hero has Q♠ K♣

fold, UTG+1 calls 1 BB, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to 12.55 BB and is all-in, fold, fold

SB wins 3.7 BB

As you can see, a limper is a 70 VP fish and I did want to isolate him, but didn't know if I should shove all-in or just 4x raise him, since SB and BB were under 13BBs in effective stack. I know it was mistake folding, but I just took the safe way without thinking about EV and thought I better just review this hand here. Thank you.

I think shove would have been ok. UTG+1 seems like a guy who limps and wants to see the flop but probably is going to fold to your shove. SB and BB can call but I think our hand is strong enough.

This is just my guess. I'm not a tournament player so wait for other answers :)

you don't have much fold equity from a passive player like him + if blinds shove and that fish calls you will have to fold against 2+ opps coz you don't have much equity. You are happy to steal the pot so shove here.

Shoving with a 21bb stack is a little bit too much I think.
I would make an isolation raise of 3bb and play in position on the button and still fold when the SB will go all-inn with his tight stats.

Cheers,
