88 in BB vs UTG limp

[Paul2432]

This hand occurred last night in the Pokerstars $10+1 rebuy.

Blinds are 4000/8000 ante 400. I have 31000 after posting and hold 88. Both opponents have me covered. UTG limps, 6 folds, SB completes. I move all-in, even though the UTG limp scared me a little. Standard?

you're so short you're gonna have to push here. GL

So much information not given. Was this normaly for UTG? Did he like to limp?

If not, what would he be limping with? AA, AK, KK, medium/low pocket pair, Axs?

All that said, unless it was highly unusual for this to happen, you did the right thing in pushing.

I don't think he had done anything unusual UTG up to this point. I was probably at this table 40 hands or so when this hand occurred so this player only had four or five UTG actions for me to observe. If I had to guess UTG folded all his previous UTG hands while I was there.

It turned out UTG limped with QQ and moved in over the top. SB folded. UTG wound up flopping top set, and even though I spike a set on the turn I did not hit the miracle perfect-perfect.
