Default your vote on 89s

First hand of tourney for both questions. Assume pokerstars turbo's with stacks of 1500. You're under the gun. What are you doing with 89s?

So I'm in a pretty boring cash game and reading your post. Within a minute of answering the poll I get 98s UTG. I don't usually play it there but thought this must be fate. Hit a straight. Win a nice pot. But I would still fold in a tournament.

There is a typo in your post. It says eight-nine suited under the gun.

Yeah, I was curious how many people would fold this even at level 1. I think it's strange to fold it with 75BB.

She means you're an idiot for even asking this question.

Fold.

At a $15 if the flop hits you, you're going to double up against loose players.
