*This relates to 6 max MTT's

I had a situation the other day where I had pocket 2s in the bb, with about 20 bigs

There were 13 left, 3 tables, 2 4 handed, I was on the 5 handed table.

The button was raising most hands (chip leader)

I jammed, which I didn't think was 2 terrible, but the guy called really light. It's not ideal as in he was calling so light - I had just seen him call a shortstacks 4 bet Jam with k8os. Thought he'd fold here given I was a lot deeper.

Also there is no anti's at play in this particular tournie.

So in the bb, with 22-55, with 13-20 bigs facing a button min raise what are we doing?

I think with the 2s hands (given this player was sticky) fold>call>3 bet

If the guy folds a lot, I shove.
If he calls a lot, I fold.

I may call if he minopens and we're 20bb's deep.

This may be wrong :P

Edit: I change my mind, I'm never calling with those stacksizes :P

I would push in most cases. Our equity against his calling range is very decent and we should still have some fold equity.

In my oppinion, it's definately best to push, since late position raise in that stage of the game is wery wide
