Pocket pairs 10s and lower under the gun?
What is your strategy with these with at least a 25 big blind stack?
Fold? Set mine? raise 2.5x,3x? |

| TT and 99 I might open the pot with a raise. Anything lower I usually fold, unless of course its short handed. I never limp if its a full table, if I'm playing em I'm raising. |

| Blind levels? Stack sizes? If I have 6 big blinds left any pair is a good pair, if I am a monster I am probably raising, if I am a mid stack it depends on my image and if I can steal from my table. |

Depends on the table. On a tight table, I'll raise almost any pair in any position. On a passive table, I'll limp with any pair. On a loose/agressive table, I'll fold small pairs early.
Also, it depends on where in the tournament we are. Early 2 rounds in the tournament I'll be more willing to limp with low pairs, since it will be fairly inexpensive even if I'm raised. It also sets up the limp/push big hands play later in the tourney. Middle stages of the tourney I'll usually fold small pairs UTG. Later stages when M's are low and the table is short, I'll raise any pair from any position. |

+1 to this is my general guide. Certainly early on in a game I'm not going lower than 99 from UTG, and I'll raise with them. I'm not to likely to start limping weaker hands, as all I do is start showing exactly what type of hands I'm on, and thats bad. |
