Hello,

I would love to hear your thoughts how this hand should be played. I struggle a bit with lower pocket pairs (lower than 88) when in UTG with 8-12 BB range. Is this something I can run or train in programs like Sng Wiz?

Is this a standard play? Thanks for any tips.

PokerStars - 50/100 Ante 10 NL (8 max) - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 20.55 BB
SB: 12.7 BB
BB: 23.42 BB
Hero (UTG): 9.91 BB
UTG+1: 27.44 BB
MP: 9.44 BB
CO: 16.54 BB

7 players post ante of 0.1 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.2 BB) Hero has 8

Hero raises to 9.81 BB and is all-in,

Jamming here is completely standard. With this stack size you should be jamming basically everything you open, and 88 in particular is both strong enough you want to go with it and vulnerable enough you don't want to let anyone see a flop cheaply.
