What I don’t like at all is his shove on the turn cause on such a dry board I can’t see any worse hands call him. However I think the fish in the hand makes it closer between a fold and a call on the turn.

Yeah, I limp a decent amount from early position at full ring tables. I did a whole video about it for Poker Savvy Plus, but the bottom line is that I usually limp small to medium pairs, sometimes good suited connectors, sometimes stuff like AKo or AQs, and sometimes big pairs. If raised, I pretty much always re-raise the big pairs and the AK. I usually either call or fold the pairs, I sometimes call the AQs/AJs, and sometimes re-raise the suited connectors. It’s probably not perfect, but it’s balanced enough for a situation that doesn’t come up too frequently and that no one’s really putting much effort into exploiting.

My question is are you usually limping 88 here in this spot instead of raising it? What other hands would you limp UTG like this? Is it game dependent where you don’t think that this will be exploited?

Just two days ago I was on the bad end of a similar spot, the rare situation in which I only retrospectively realized that I had had enough information to fold bottom set on a dry flop, but didn’t put the pieces together until it was too late.
