10-10 preflop with a short stack 10-10 preflop with a short stack

Another hand from when I was playing £1/£1 in a strong 10 handed game. Again the amounts are not exact but fairly accurate.

Some info on the players in the hand:
UTG(Very tight rock) £100
MP1(loose) £80

I am pretty short after set over set a few hands before and haven't reloaded as of yet.

Dealt 10 10 (£50) in the Hijack
UTG raises to £5, MP1 calls £5, Hero calls £5

Flop - 6 3 8 UTG bets £15, MP1 raises £35, Hero folds

Firstly, should I have shoved pre-flop? I did think for a minute about whether to shove or call but I elected to flat call purely because I didn't think I was getting it in good against the UTG raise. They had been playing very tight UTG would not be opening anything with that bet sizing with less then a premium hand. But regardless of my read, should I still be shoving pre-flop?

On the flop I was considering shoving even with no club against UTG thinking its very possible they have AK, AQ with one club. But once MP1 gets involved then I am done.

UTG flipped AA with no club and MP1 missed their flush draw. As it happens I rivered a set, but did I make the right play given my read?

Depending on how short you were (you didnt say) folding preflop is not out of the question. Im folding that flop.

I had £50 before any action took place. Is written above but just not with the other players stack sizes.

With 50 and against a raise from a very tight rock, Im probably just folding preflop. Im never shoving preflop.

No. I'd never 3! a tight UTG raising range with TT. You're almost always behind. Call here and regret not topping off your stack sooner.

Insta-fold on the flop and never thinking twice about it. Your small overpair is never good against a tight UTG cbet and a raise.
