88-hand.
Empire VIP freeroll. 177 entrants, about 65 left. Average stack 2700. 30 places pay.
9-handed. I am UTG+2 w/ 2K in chips. Blinds 75/150. 2 folds, you look down at 8 8. Your move? EDIT: I pushed the hand right before this and wasn't called, if that matters. |

Re: 88-hand.
With 13xBB and not ante, you don't have odds to push 88.
I would probably limp, but you could fold or make small raise. Since this a freeroll, the play is probably loose, so I would limp. |

Re: 88-hand.
I fold. Stacks not deep enough for me to limp, and table likely too loose for me to raise. Risk/reward of reaching out for the blinds is not great.
I may still raise though depending on the actual stacks behind me (all much shorter than me etc). |

Re: 88-hand.
I fold this. Stacks are very shallow, you are out of position with a middle pair, and you have just enough chips where you arent desperate, but not quite enough where you can limp or make a standard raise comfortably.
If the table was rather passive, though, I would push it. |
