I don't really get the whole push any two UTG deal that so many people seem to go on about. "IF THE BLINDS HIT ME I LOSE FOLD EQUITY BLAH BLAH" etc. Hey, you do get dealt a hand in the blinds, you know! It's not some automatic death sentence. And let's look at what happens if you get dealt 32o both times in the blinds and there's just no way you can play the pot, etc. What are you down to? 375? That's okay. If you can be first in with only three people to go through I think that's a lot better. Basically if you lose more than a third of your stack by getting hit by the blinds, it's not the end of the world because you can pick up a hand, you can luck out and get it folded to you in SB or button or CO, or you can wait it out until the next time and just play your next BB no matter what you're dealt. Also, you still have some FE with 375 in level 5, not a ton obviously but you will make the BB fold some hands if he doesn't have a ton of chips either.
