every option seems bad here

[rybones]

what would you do? This is a 33. I only have 13 bb, I am in ep, I am not a short stack, it is still 8 handed. A Call is begging for a push that I cannot call (or can I ... I know depends on the stack). I can't raise without pushing and this hand and position seem too weak for that, and folding a pair seems weak?

limp and try to see a flop for set value. you have plenty of chips to dump this if raised more than a min-raise. call a min-raise for set value as well.

definitely NOT a push (for 150 chips) and there is no sense in raising it yourself since youre not value betting it, your trying to flop a set.

limp. call min-raise if you need to and fold to any raise more than a min-raise.

i think this is horrible.
he has plenty of chips to try to see a flop for 100 or 200.
the most he is gonna lose without seeing a flop is 100 if he limps, which he can certainly afford to do.

bin em , esp if your not willing to call a re raise or commit all your stack, i know i wouldnt do it with 77 from that position.

Easy fold for me. To those recommending playing this for set value I say UTG is not the place to be doing this especially with the blinds so high.

let me get this straight, I should be willing to risk 1/6 (approx) of my stack on set value? However, I shouldn't call more than a min raise?

I gotta tell ya this sounds like a bad plan to me. I need more proof. Right now I am in good chip position. Blinds are going to really put presure on those with t600 or less to move soon. If I fold to someone with T600 who pushes (assuming all else fold), they gain my 200+150 from the blinds. Their stack is now t950 which is nearly equal to mine. Plus I am begging a big stack to push.

Easy fold for me. Short of going all-in the risk of one of the other seven players raising you is too big.

how often do you think that you will be able to cheaply see a flop as you suggest, even after calling a min raise?

sitting to your right.

I think most of the time you are going to see a preflop raise that is more than a minraise.

I've limped hands like this and I've folded hands like this...folding usually works out better
