Default Re: 6 left, semi-short-stacked, TT UTG

I would think that a good way to approach this is to figure out what kind of hands you would like to play against with TT. Preferably you would like to be against a lower pocket pair or a hand with one overcard. If you raise under the gun you would push out these hands that may try to steal the blinds like Axs, a low pp, and even possibly a suited connector like 9,10s. So i would suggest open limping and do one of the following:

1. If there is a fairly small raise behind you like 3-4 bb's and the blinds fold i would reraise all in. You would have a lot of folding equity versus AQ, AJ, maybe even AK because your limp reraise screams AA, KK. Also if they are loose you might have trapped somebody into calling with Ax or a low pp.

2. If someone pushes all in behind you it would leave a player specific decision, if you fold you still haven't hurt your stack too much.

3. If no raise behind you, you still will have a fairly strong hand even in a probable 3 way pot.

I think playing this way possesses the strongest risk/reward ratio.
