minimum hands to defend BB vs EP/UTG raise
I'm wondering what people consider minimum hand to defend the BB against a raiser in UTG/UTG+1 position is against a typical raise (ie, 2-5x the BB)?

You aren't going to get any responses because it is soooo dependent on details you didn't include. Things like what are the blinds, how many chips do you have, what are the other stacks, how many players left, reads on player making the raise...

Sometimes AA/KK, sometimes any two.

Blinds: still fairly normal compared to stacks (say, 30/60 and people have T700-T1500 for the most part, and assume neither you nor the raiser are short stacks or monster leaders).
Players left: 7+ Reads: none In other words, there are obviously a lot of circumstances that could change this play, but I'm talking about a 'typical' circumstance. |

Early on vs a standard raise I would like a pretty good hand to call a raise. I am probably one of the most conservative players early on so AQs+, JJ+ against a player I give some respect to.
