there is some merit in opening any pair UTG when you are on a big stack and want to bully the table and steal, but here I fold 22 UTG

[vaJAZzled]

Ty, in this spot I would prolly open 77+
Reasonable?

[XMenCypher]

yes, I would prolly go 77/88, it all depends on the table

180 man, this is bit too wide, right?

Shove is good

Quick ITM/ICM question: shove or fold? We're on FT, players are average, BB is on a little more loose/aggro side.

I say shove for sure and I'd shove much wider prolly like 25%-35% of all hands, you're the smallest stack so I wouldn't even think about ICM.
