push small pairs on bubble?
OK, i know this is a basic question, but I'm still new at these, I'm ignorant, and I don't have much success with the search function.
In a typical 4 handed situation, say a leader has 3500, I have 1700, another 1300 and another 1500. I'm UTG, button or even small blind and get the chance to open with a small pair. 200-400 blinds. Is this a push? How about at 100-200? How much does it matter if the leader has to act behind me? |

Definitely at 400 blinds push any pair. At 200 blinds, IMO its dependent on the read of the table and if it seems someone is ready to take a stand. If its 66+, absolutely push, 55- its marginal.

Re: push small pairs on bubble?
it also depends a great deal on what buy-in you're at.
in the 10's i'd be less inclined to pop 22-55 because they call with anything, and you are not looking for a call here. if you're in the 22's or 33's i'd think you'd be a fool NOT to push any pair, at either 100-200 or higher, as long as you have the standard weak-tight bubble opponents. Degen |

Re: push small pairs on bubble?
Player tightness, position and size of the pair would matter the most to me. If the pair were 22 or 33 and I was UTG, I'd pitch them. The higher the pair and the later the position I'd be more apt to fire all-in.
