#1) Early in tournament, you get JJ UTG. Blinds 10/20 you have T1500.

Limp. Play for set value.

#2) Early in tournament, you get JJ on the button with 2 limpers. Again blinds 10/20 T1500

Raise to 4x (to T-80). You are going to be raising here with lots of playable hands. Watch for EP limp-reraises...they generally mean AA, KK, or AKs (although I sometimes limp-reraise EP with AQs, as well [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img])

#3) Late in tournament, you get JJ as MP1 with 1 limper (UTG) who plays a lot of hands and likes to see flops. Blinds 100/200 and you have T4000. UTG has T5500 and the stacks behind you are about the same as yours.

I raise to T-700

--------------------

Those were pretty easy. How about:

4) Blinds 300/600, 25 players to the money, You have T-4500 in CO. EP1 Raises all-in for T-3500. Folded to MP2 ( a TAG) who reraises all-in to T-22,000. Folded to you in CO.

5) Blinds 15/30, You have T-1500. UTG (T-1200) raises to T-60. UTG+1 re-raises to T-180. Folded to you in SB.

OK I'll give these a shot, I was hoping someone would come up with some examples like this.

Probably a fold, 2 people all-in too many ways to lose. The TAG probably wanted a heads up match with his QQ or something.

Seems like a push or fold situation, with no reads i'd probably lay down my J's this early in a tourney.
