apprecaiated all the help on my last question...

curious about this one....

$100 B&M MTT... half the players eliminated... small stack with M = 10 at 100/200, but very soon to be 150/300.... table is very laggy and manic. few steals, lots of showdowns without great hands

get 88 UTG and it's 8 handed (not sure why it wasn't 10 handed).... raise 3-4X, all-in or fold??... am i quite small enough to go all-in? if i fold UTG, i can probably get thru the next two hands at 100/200 blind levels (i.e. before they go up).

basically have to make major move very soon... but is 88 UTG too thin?

thanks in advance!!

fold.

If it was 7 handed or less i would raise to 600.

Your stack is too big to just open push here with 88.

If the table were less maniacal, I'd raise it to 600-700. If it's just weak, I might limp. I've been watching BeL0w's videos on PXF lately and I've found ways to mix my open-raises and open-limps. It's a gear I just don't have in tournaments, but you have too much to push and a raise is getting called or re-raised and will basically be dead money, IMO.

I hate folding 8's and I don't know how often I could do it, but I'd have to. You're getting through the blinds at this level, right?
