HI!

I wonder how you play this hand. i had only 5BB left, i was shortest stack at the table, other players had 15-25BB. full ring table.

UTG with 20BB opens 2.5BB, I.. from utg1?

Must i go all in here due to stack and try to gamble?

I would fold and wait for aces. Clearly you have time, just be patient.

Unless you have aces you always might be behind something preflop. When you are whittled down to 5 big blinds is not the time to start getting scared of what you might be behind - it's time to get chips in and see what happens.

In this situation I'm thrilled that I picked up a semi-premium to get my chips in with.
