I'd probably fold this hand here PF. Any small raise and you're basically commited to the hand as you found out. Push all-in and you're a dog to any ace or and pair. And limping with 12xBB and the blinds about to increase isn't pretty. At this stage though any raise should be a push, and I wait till the blinds go up and start pushbotting, hoping to steal some blinds and hopefully double up to get a shot at getting ITM.

what do i wait play with preflop then? the blinds are going to devour my chips.

It's more when to wait for than what...

At the moment the blinds and 25/50 and equal t75, this doesn't add much to your stack and isn't worth risking your tournament life on my pushing ALL-IN, when you're behind to any pair or ace... and as you see raising a small amount and you're commited to the hand, so folding this is a good play.

When the blinds go up to 50/100, pushing when you're first in from the CO / button / SB assuming villians aren't donkish loose, will add t150 to your chipcount assuming you're uncalled, which often happens. This should give you time to find a better hand to push with...

bah, I told you yesterday, don't get so emotionally involved with this stuff. Frustrating, goddam ?? Take some deep breaths dude and accept that there is a lot of luck/bad beating in poker.

So wait until you have a decent hand.
If the slow pace is bothering you, play more tables.

Is tigerite correct?
