Small pairs, utg and in mid possition

(1/3) > >>

stacks:
Ok so just wondering people thoughts on the following -

Just below average stacked in an online MTT donkament and getting near the bubble and its getting pretty much shove fold time, what is ur thoughts on having small pairs utg / utg + 1/2 like 22,33,44 etc.. do you just limp fold or shove??? Im never to shore on what to do???

Feedback welcome, sorry not got more info but its just a general question..

Cheers

JP

Marty719:
Dependant on a lot of factors.  If u have a shove/fold stack then limping is clearly out ofthe que. Folding utg 9handed most of the time.

fraac:
You can limp-call if someone else is likely to shove.

hi_am_chris:
Agree with marty depending how many bb"s i have, if i can afford to go through the blinds id rather fold and do that than shove a small pair in early position at a full table. Limp calling with a small pair is horrible imo, either shove with FE or fold and take the blinds

AMRN:
shoving here is horrible - you"re only getting called by a better hand, or by overcards for a coin-flip at best.  May as well shove with 32o rather than 33 - you have more outs if called by an overpair.

calling here is spewy - your hand clearly wouldnt stand up to action behind you.

folding here is nitty.

OK three options and they"re all crap. I hate small pocket pairs in early position when no implied odds to limp and hope.  I would fold.
