Default Re: Typical tournament situation ~10BB stack

If by push you move all-in then I wouldn’t with AA,KK or QQ because you are probably ahead and you need to get your big pair paid off, so you don’t want to chase both of the limpers out of the pot, so raise it up say to 3000. AK yes move in you need to see 5 cards if you are called by a pair.

99 TT & JJ it rather depends on my opponents, if I am sure that limping equals weakness rather concealed strength I would move all-in in hope to take it there and then or at worst be a slight favorite in 50:50 or if I'm lucky be on the right end of an optimistic call from a big stack with a smaller pair

I would be a little more careful if one of the limpers had shown himself capable of slow palying big hands and if I had more chips might just take a flop with 99 TT or JJ, but when you are short you have to take a chance or 2 so I would probably move.
