Shovel your chips into the middle.....you're ahead of utg's shoving range and ahead of button's flatting range. Unless you have reason to believe button is decent and may be flatting to trap you've gotta get it in here.

Like the AK hand, this one can be vulnerable many times (especially multiway), and a TAG UTG making a shove isn't exactly a good sign for you, even if he is short. The button's call just makes this all the more difficult. You don't have much fold equity because he'll have to call 11K into an almost 25K pot, and he already invested over a quarter of his stack, so he may feel committed.

I really don't think I am ahead of BTN´s flat.

It´s pretty strong to flat there, even though he is a fish

:/ Him being TAG is a good sign imo.
He can have anything.

The problem is if randoms are flatting so much of their stack without big hands.

True, 5BBs can change players big time. I can never tell

Button's flat is scary. I'd definitely think about squeezing him out with deeper stacks, but not here unfortunately.

I see lots of fish flat shoves like these with plenty of hands that beat 88s. In my mind theres no way in hell your going to be able to squeeze the btn off this pot and 88's dont play so well multiway. Fold imo.
