Good move?

Is this a good play when the chip stacks are like this?

It's the correct play.

It's reckless. Maybe from the button.

Depends on Villains. At a 215, I suspect this is an auto-push. But at an $11, people will get frustrated and call with K8 just because they feel like it.

Oh, yeah. I didn't see that. I'm more inclined to do this on the button. Not always UTG.

I don't like it. IMO, there's not enough out there in blinds to risk giving away your chip lead here. You gain 300 chips if this works. If it doesn't, you potentially lose a comfortable chip lead. The risk / reward of this play is not good.

I think folding or even mini-raising would be fine here. I know it looks weak, but why risk your position for a measly 300 chips here? Especially at an 11, you're going to get called more than you think, and most often, you're hand will be dominated when you are.
