WHAT DO I DO

How about some information about your reads on others at the table and how many are left IN the event (not to mention how many started and how many get paid). Otherwise you are simply begging for a tree-fitty type of answer...

Don't remember. It was a $100 100k gtd. on black chip. 5 hours of late reg. it was in the third hour. obviously prizes were yet to be determined

In tougher tournaments you should play tighter from early position folding all of the small pairs 22s thru 66s and the weak off suit broadway combinations because you will be getting squeezed a lot and be out of position against good players. Since this is a very weak $100 buy in live donkament limping small pairs from early position can be profitable as long as you mix in some strong hands like AA and AK to balance your limping range.

This is on online tournament on a US site during the reentry period. You should definitely play the hand. Miniraise or limp may be best.

Open

standard min-raise. Set mine. Fold to big three bet. Check/fold if you don't hit your set. Well worth the small risk to your stack at this level and big potential payoff if you hit.

You obviously want to play this in a loose splashy game, such as the reentry period.

It is possible to limp or straight minraise if you have been 2.7x it this early or whatever. Some people will not vary sizing, and there is an issue of giving away correct information. However, it depends on dynamics whether this would work, and help create a multiway pot. There are some advantages to keeping with you standard sizing, as you can represent a high pp or big ace on some flops, as you opened UTG.

Obviously, postflop if you miss depends on the flop and dynamics. There are other flops that are good for your hand, such as those that give you straight draws and low choppy flops. You also can represent on some high flops as the UTG raiser.
