How do you guys play 77-99 utg with large blinds in relation to your stack. Table is full w/ 10 players and blinds are generally in between 150/300-400/800.

I'd say fold here, raising UTG is too risky. Anyone who calls or re-raises you most likely has you at either a coinflip AK, AQ, AJ or has you dominated 10 10 JJ QQ KK AA.

Even if the flop lands undercards, chances are you won't have a sufficient read on your opponent to determine whether hes betting with a larger pocket pair or two overcards.

entirely depends on table dynamics, as much of a copout as that sounds. I often push them all if my image is good and the standards are high, pushing only 99+ if it's not favorable.

You push when you have 10ish BB?

Generally push with 10xBB or less. Otherwise raise, fold, or limp, depending on the situation.

A lot depends on table dynamics and my stack size in relation to blinds and how near the money i am. If i am a ways from the money still and less than 10x BB i push here everytime and hope to get called by 2 overs or a big stack calling me with a smaller pair.

If i have say 12-15 BB and i think there is a reasonablely good chance that a 3-4xBB raise will take it down on a tight table then i'll just raise.

If the table has been pretty loose and i'm fairly certain my raise will get called i may just limp in and hope to see a cheap flop and keep the pot small from out of position.
