I would limp here. It still leaves you with 14xBB if you miss your set.

Re: Am I a wuss? ($22)
hmm... limping doesn't seem so bad.
what about a limp/RR or limp/call or limp/SNG or limp/fold depending on the raiser? by this time you should have at least 20-30 hands on the raiser, which of course isn't all that reliable, but may give you a ballpark of his range. i dunno, i think i fold this a lot because my chipstack is very awkward. with more chips i raise, with less chips i push. |

I pop it to 125. [/ QUOTE ] Like anyone who's played a ton of these SNGs, I've dealt with this situation quite a bit. From my experience, I honestly don't know if the blinds are worth denting my stack here, when I'm just about to flip the switch and start playing push / fold poker. Every chip I lose now is two chips the first time I double up. With two bigstacks who could call and have position on me, the probability of flopping a hand where I know where I stand is pretty low. And raising to 125 on a 22 creates a pretty high likelihood of getting a caller, or even two because of the pot odds created when it comes around to the blinds. I just don't know if I'm giving much up here by folding. |

btw, I've been noticing that my lvl 2 raises to 75 and my lvl 3 raises to 125 have been generating lots of folds lately. It's probably just in my head though. |

BTW, I'm not saying that I'm positive that folding is correct (hence the post), just giving my reasoning. (Or my rationalization so that I don't feel like a total [censored] for folding.)
