MP is a mega fish (75/50/2.4 over a small sample)stacking off with under pairs and all kind of garbage. UTG is 25/16/3 over 92 hands(most of his stack has come from tptker type hands vs MP. This is the first hand he's played from UTG. I'm obv. not concerned with the fish but what's the best course of action with a seemingly solid UTG still to act?

No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

MP ($10.65)
Button ($12.15)
Hero (SB) ($27.40)
BB ($26.80)
UTG ($55.65)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 10

, 9

UTG calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.10, BB checks

Flop: ($1) 7

, 8

, 7

(4 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP bets $1, Hero calls $1, 1 fold, UTG calls $1

Turn: ($4) 6

(3 players)
Hero bets $4, UTG calls $4, MP raises $9.40 (All-In), Hero???

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point

UTG hasn't shown much interest in this flop so I wouldn't be worried about his hand range. His open limp here could be anything from 22-AA, although his flop call puts him closer to 66+.

I don't mind calling here hoping to get UTG to come in too with an overpair, then you can get value from him on the river. Given the pot is $20, and will be $24 on the river, your effect stack will be $17ish, it should set up a nice pot size river shove.

That said, as long as you don't fold and get it all in on the river I don't think you can play it badly. Shoving turn would alright but not the most optimal IMO.

If someone's in w/ 66 or 88 then god bless 'em.... only job you got right now is getting all the moniez in the middle, and turn call / river shove is most likely the best way to do it.
