In a vacuum we have good blockers to go for a steal x2,2 and go from there (to nitty to fold , unless I have reasons to do so ) , also since we are the short stack at FT , ICM doesn’t affect us that much (I see a lot mistakes that short stack do , that play way to tight in this spots, and I think it should be the opposite imo )

Which of those factors are relevant? UTG with 8 players behind, we have no betting information from the players in front of us.
Regardless of format or buyin amount, we have a 20% chance that someone has us dominated and almost no chance of scaring off the dominating hands (possible exception of AQ).
FWIW - The subject line indicates we are in 7th (of 9), not the short stack.
The lesson I take from this hand is the relatively high chance that we are dominated with so many players still to act. In the future in this spot, I'll probably fold pre.
