    If we choose to fold, then we have to shove the button with any two. With 8BB and 3-handed we should pretty much be doing this every orbit anyway, unless one of the other players is prone to call with a very wide range.

    I do agree with this point and that is how I usually play. I did say in my OP that I was 100 % going with this hand after the 1st all in. The 2nd call, made me think again and I thought the fold was correct. I was possibly wrong and accept the notion that the call would also have been ok.

    Here is the result/payout*.....

    zarro1040001£196.20
    THEROCK57302£157.20
    MAXALLY03£139.00

    *some 1's may of been added to enhance the payouts :)

    we don't have to shove anywhere near as wide as any two, because there aren't antes.

    With only 8BB there's 18.75% of our stack in the middle on every hand. I think we have to believe that we're going to be called really wide for a shove with any two to not be profitable, antes or no antes.

    Dont think you can ever call here, for both players to be going all in usually ther going to have a certain range , and you must be worried that at least 1 may have a higher pair than u and if not you will more than likely be up against overcards from ak aq even kq, 99 are never good againt 2 opponents, against just 1 opponent i think you probably have to call
