    Default $12 pocket eights facing a raise and a call

    Is it profitable to push here? There are lots of chips at the flop and my squeeze play can seem very strong..

    Full Tilt Poker, $11 + $1 NL Hold'em Sit n' Go, 80/160 Blinds, 7 Players
    LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

    SB: 3,500
    Hero (BB): 1,215
    UTG: 2,210
    UTG+1: 2,215
    MP: 2,305
    CO: 1,240
    BTN: 815

    Pre-Flop: (240) 8 8 dealt to Hero (BB)
    UTG raises to 320, UTG+1 folds, MP calls 320, 3 folds, Hero ??

    Yes, I am definitely shoving it here. Although both of them get good pot odds to call you, chances are that you will clear out one of them and given how short you are I think you have to gambool it up.

    88 is pretty much on the bottom of my shoving range here

    is it a push if MP didn't call?

    I would probably still push - you'd be surprised how often UTG folds here even though he shouldn't. Plus you have a good hand so if he calls you're taking the right end of a flip much more often than you're dominated IMO.
