    Your stack size is kind of an awkward size for a squeeze. Any re-raise will commit you and shoving 37k is kind of a lot. Unless you have evidence that the minraise and flatcall were both weak, I think you should just f/c and go from there. I don't think folding is awful either... fairly weak, but not awful. Squeeze is fine too, just very aggressive jamming 37k into that pot.

    For me this would depend on the stage of the tourney and the players at my table.
    If it was a point in the tourney where I thought those extra chipswoulld enable me to start raising a lot more pots( as a result ofhaving a larger chipstack, then I might squeeze here) This doesntlook to be one of those spots, cause stacks are so shallow. Alsoif the players were pretty bad, and i thought there was a good chance Icould get it in as more than a 55/45 fav, I wouldnt push either.

    So I think I would call and play strictly for a set.

    Also i dont like folding, because with the money in the pot and ur remaining stack ur getting like 15-1 implied odds. Which if take the 8-1 for a set and factor in the times you wont double through, I think 15-1 is more than enough

    Well when you squeeze here 90 percent of the time you will be at best a small fav when you are called, so that is the danger of squeezing.

    i mean if you shove, its not really a value bet, its more of a semi bluff

    No squeeze, flat call, 8s set more than any other pair

    i like a squeeze here even without a read on the min raise. I also like a r/r (and call) instead of a shove.
