    This is tough, if Jimmy is a station i would shove over but if he's a tag I'd probably fold. You have the first guy beat and the second guy could be doing this with hands you beat like 99 or AK or a hand that smokes you in AA.

    Yea, the only problem is that i dont have any reads on him though.
    What would you do w/out reads???

    I think I let this one go. You've got a decent stack, Jimmy has you covered, and I think an UTG+1 flat call to an UTG push is a trap with extreme strength more often than it is a mediocre hand where he doesn't want to risk an isolation raise. Flat calling yourself is bad too I think, since its 1/3 of your stack. Raise or fold here and I think Jeff is right in that you need a read on Jimmy to come over the top.
    On moving up, properly rolled:
