I standard raise this.

I think playing level 3 supertight is the wrong way to go. If anything I think it is one of the levels where as a pushbotter it is easiest to give up +EV situations because it is a tweener level. But folding hands that in the long run will make you money just because it is easier is a leak IMO.

I think I am too tight in level 3 but I won't fold this. I probably fold 77-88 though.

I'd bet that a lot of 2+2ers are losers at lvl 3, and at the very least modest winners.

I am I think a 0.01BB loser at level 3. Also my level 3 VPIP is way low, like 7.5%.

And imo you're one of the best 2+2ers playing these stakes, so what does that suggest about everyone else?

I agree with this completely. Now... the question is, does this fact support the argument for playing tighter or for playing looser in level 3?

BTW, I honestly can't tell you if what my level 3 numbers are, since I'm probably like the only regular poster on the forum who doesn't use pokertracker or similar software.

(But I DO keep records of all games played and take notes on important hands...)

I've not checked my stats for 25/50 level for a while but I am certain it's green in PokerTracker, and I would raise here..

My stats are green at every level except one for both SNG's and MTT's and I would never consider folding here. You are 8 handed, not 10, which turns a fold from mediocre to bad. Whether to limp or raise is up to you (I'd raise) but these are nines, not sixes.

With a low stack, and those cards, this is an automatc all-in for me. The most likely result is everyone will fold and you'll scoop the blinds. You'll get a rep of being a desperate madman, and when better cards come along they'll be more willing to call.
