AJ Playable Here?

[EasilyFound]

This is from a MTT. It is a freeroll tourney from PP, but I'm interested in the tactically correct play here. I'm trying to adjust my game from STT to MTT. And I always seem to find myself low stacked deep in the tourney. I suppose I'm just playing too tight in the early going, which often works at a STT but not at a MTT. Following the STT strategy just doesn't do it in a MTT.

Anyway, here is the hand. The blinds are high. I have about 8.5 bb. I will lose close to 1/5 of my stack with another round of blinds. Blind level just increased. I assume my only play is all-in or fold, correct? And is the hand just too poor for UTG? Or do you have to make a move some time or do you just wait? The field has shrunk to 100 from 1400.

Any commnents would be appreciated.

You're post is slightly confusing, really wish you had used the converter.

I think that it shows that you are 3rd to act, and since you didn't post what the other 2 before you did, I'll assume they folded. You also didn't mention any reads you had on the other players, but your M is a little over 5, basically putting you in the betgo zone of play. You still have fold equity against the blinds, I don't see nothing wrong with going all in and either trying to take the blinds, or trying to take the blinds and double up.

With reads, I might decide otherwise, and if I got the position wrong, sorry, but your post is confusing without formatting!

open push.

Same as thedirtydirty. I would too like a better formatting /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Without reads I would say push. I would push this one hoping to get called and be facing a coin flip off some kind and then double up or get busted.

Sorry for not using the converter, but I am first to act. Seat 4 is the button, making seats 5 and 6 the sb and bb, respectively. So I am UTG here.
