OR is a 36/10 over 100 hands, in the SB there's a huge fish who is playing 60/36 3betting 10% and squeezin 17% over 500 hands and he doesn't like folding to 3bets in general.
I don't know what to do and basically my problem is the stack sizes, OR has 40 BBs while the SB has 60 BBs.
I don't like setmine in this spot since basically we nee do stack him a lot. Also calling open up the possibility for the SB to squeeze.
3Betting is akward give the stack sizes...

definitely flat in that spot. With a spazz, you want to stack. I don't see the UTG to ever 4 bet so his call is proper. I would expect that with his holdings.
It seems the pot would grow with spazz in the hand so you want to let your position lead the FTR. Not knowing the flop, On pre, it would be A B C poker. Play your position. Hope that helps.
Hero cannot check in this spot, he's the BTN :D
changed my term to "Flat". haha. thx
Raise or fold pre.
upd:
I think calling to setmine is an option too. We call 3bb and he has 40bb, so 1:13. You call 3-bets w 88, right? Maybe not a huge plus ev call, but still not bad. Villain will also give up on some flops, so you take down the pot.
SB is really aggrofish and I expect a squeeze a lot of times.
I like the 3bet preflop idea tho, this should avoid the squeeze and if OR calls it's most likely he doesn't have a premium hand so I can put some pressure on hin
vs agro fish you can call-raise allin w 88... there should be fold equity.
Flat, shove vs SB squeeze.
Set mining with 88? We have a pretty decent hand even vs a tight opening range so I don't think we're exclusively looking for an 8 on the board or anything. Just call. Fold 22-55 though, especially with the squeezer behind. (No exact reasoning behind this or anything, but I'd comfortably call 77-99, be on the cusp with 66, and easily fold <55).
