Folding seems too weak
Pushing feels too strong
Limping seems too dangerous

10BBs left and bigstack has folded. Time to hold your breath and push.

Not weak, I was wrong. Definite fold.

excellent to hear.

I folded this and felt weak, but it turns out others agree, and SNGPT with the perfect ranges make it a moderate push if you can guess the ranges perfectly.

Does everyone agree that limping or raising are both out of the question as well?

Re: 22R EP level 4 with a small pair
 

Yes, by limping in this position you have too much chance of being raised and if by chance you are not, the flop will not help you most of the time. Raising is a big chunk of your stack and if called you again risk not knowing what to do when overcards hit.

It's fold or push with fold the better option.

Yep, dont like those options much either...it seems everytime I lose discipline and try limping my punishment comes immediately in a MP-LP raise that I have to fold to.

this is a fold.
