88 in BB, Party 33

Hi guys, this is my first post over here. I hope I can contribute to this forum half as much as it's contributed to my game.

Also, I'm sorry for the format...apparently, I've had some trouble getting HH's during Party's "improvements."

UTG was pretty loose and a frequent limper. Button seemed pretty average.

Blinds 150/300. UTG (T1300) limps, CO folds, button pushes for T1100. SB folds, I have T1600 in the BB. What's my play?

I'd fold if your cards suck. Go all in if they are good.

See title.

My bad. I fold.
Edit: on second thought, I'll call with the blinds this high.

Thanks. I've just started playing more SNG's the last month, and these are the spots that give me the most trouble.

I've been wondering if I'm too willing to make calls in spots with high blinds, 4-5 players, a less than dominating chip position, and a hand that may well be a coinflip or dominated, but aren't likely to be in a dominating position.

I call this pretty quickly. Lots of money in the pot and it's likely UTG isn't coming along for the ride. You're probably close to even money with button.
