    Default K7s in BB to UTG limp, shove it? ($60)

    From memory, UTG's stats were 19/0. Shove it?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed)
    Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB (t3550)
    Hero (t1265)
    UTG (t3967)
    MP (t3068)
    Button (t1650)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 7, K.
    UTG calls t150, 3 folds, Hero raises to t1265

    I would, 19/0 is too passive for me to belive he has a big hand here.

    I would check. I doubt you have very much FE here against those stats, ie. he's only limping hands good enough to call your shove.

    Finding my game
    I think this is very read dependent, with your stack I'd be very tempted to shove but it's not too hard for him to call and anything he calls with is bad news indeed. 19/0 is passive but in no way loose, this is set hunting or a monster. Without more specific reads I think I'd go with badgers.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    I think I may have said this in a post before - this is a spot that used to be an auto shove for me, now I only shove if I want to get called. The new favorite thing is limping with 44 or AT or KJ here.

    They don't want to 3x and then get called by another bigger stack and have to figure out what to do if they miss the flop.

    They don't have a hand good enough to call a shove from the other biggies.

    But they for some reason really want to play it against you (even without FE)

    With Tight player limping from UTG I would see a flop

    I see a flop here as well. Free 20-30% chance to hit a flop worth shoving.

    Opp would have to be pretty loose for this to be a shove for me.
