Readless, with 100bb stacks, I don't necessarily mind the fold. Most 3bets you see here against decent players are strictly with premiums, so at best you'll be flipping with their range.

The thing about this had though, the two other players in the hand are probably fish, since they were sitting with half-stacks. A lot of fish will GII pretty wide, especially when they're shorter. It's unlikely either of them would be folding AJo or 88 here. If I have any reason to believe I'm up against a couple of fish in this spot, I'm 5betting all in.

5b shove. They're both shortstacked, as whitemares said, people will have a wide shoving range at 2nl, it's not uncommon to see people shoving 50bb with almost any suited ace and low pocket pairs. If they had full stacks this would be a very easy fold, but given the situation I think 5betting is best.

What whitemares said. Furthermore after UTG+1 calls you know you're ahead of his range, if not crushing it, most of the time. You therefore only really need to worry about BB, but again as whitemares said, he's likely a fish as well, and will be getting it in super wide (especially with his committal 3bet sizing).
