Default Re: $22. I\'m lost. Whats your play?

I'd typically limp the 77 for set value at level 3, especially since your stack is still relatively healthy (might be a different story if you were at t600).

With 55, I've been pushing this type of hand. You're two off the button, you have less than 10xBB, and you have a pocket pair, albeit a low one. Yes, when you get called by a higher pocket it really sucks...but you'll often pick up the blinds here, which helps...and you'll often be called by overcards, giving you a 54-ish percent chance of doubling up (which at this point in the tournament, you'll jump at). That's what I'd do here at a 22...would the more experienced among us consider that a leak of mine?
