Small blind play in a limped pot early in a MTT

[mrh86]

Simply put, what range of hands can I complete with in a typical low to medium buy-in MTT early on when the pot is limped around to me? I find that I end up folding more often than not unless I have a decent limping hand that I'd play otherwise. How much am I able to loosen up in this position? Should I play any connectors a majority of the time?

you'll find yourself in some tough situations if you play too many hands.
it comes to whether or not you are comfortable playing postflop out of position against like 5-6 opponents.
any hand can take your whole stack (unless you have big chiplead)

i used to limp a lot just because of the huge pot odds.
i found i couldn't cope with the tricky situations and would end up folding a lot of the time after investing more than i should have.
