Late middle stages of an MTT. Do you reshove here? Flat hoping to flop a set? How often is this a fold, never?

Both players around 28/20 in terms of VPIP/PFR

Yatahay Network - 800/1600 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 21.83 BB
UTG: 19.2 BB
UTG+1: 64.73 BB
MP: 34.03 BB
MP+1: 14.36 BB
MP+2: 24.86 BB
CO: 6.15 BB
Hero (BTN): 35.84 BB
SB: 99.84 BB

9 players post ante of 0.12 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.6 BB) Hero has 8 8

fold, UTG+1 raises to 2.5 BB, fold, MP+1 calls 2.5 BB, fold, fold, Hero: ???

I prefer calling over raising, raising over folding. UTG range can be pretty strong I'm not sure we can make him fold many combos

Are you only calling to set mine?

Definitely not shoving. Your stack size allows UTG+1 to play perfectly, folding everything you beat and calling with his best pairs. And I'm also concerned about the flat from the 14bb stack there, given the positions.

Yes, probably I am set minining. A set in a multiway pot is good for us we have good pot odds, there are no conditions to make the shove a profitable choice
