Default What would you push with UTG with 9xBB?

In another post, it was generally determined to be a bad play to push UTG with 9xBB and AJo. So what hands would you push or limp with?

I would say push with AK, AQ, QQ, and JJ.

With AA and KK, you probably limp or make a smaller raise.

With smaller pairs or fairly big suited connectors or gappers, you could push (which is risky, but not very EV-), limp, or pass, depending on how the table is playing. With AJ and ATs, you could limp or pass.

If you have 9BBs you are officially shortstacked. You have to move in with AA and KK, as well as the other hands you mention. Your opponents may read this as desperation and call you with pairs as low as 77 depending on their stack size and the particular tournament situation.

I don't like the limp with AA KK utg Short Stacked. When I see this it sends the red flags up for me, that they have a very good hand and want action. I would push here you will get a better chance at action and less risk of a crap hand running you down.

I would push 9xbb AKs/os (AQs AQos)

Pairs JJ or better

I am pretty tight UTG to MP1 I would rather push Q5os from CO on the next orbit, Than push a hand like 66 or KQ from UTG.
