Default Micro stack UTG

9 players, cash game. You just lost almost your whole stack on the previous hand and you now have 2BB. You're UTG now, so you decide to see one more hand for free. No matter what, you're picking up your stack and leaving the table after this hand. What hands do you play? What assumptions do you use to try and calculate the EV?

A quick swag might suggest: assume you are up against a top 10% hand (likely best pre-flop hand at full table). You get pot odds of 3.5BB to 2BB, so play all those hands that are at least 36% against a top 10% hand. Any better suggestions since there could easily be multiple players in the hand?

Default Re: Micro stack UTG

You should raise with a little more than 1/9 of the time . The fact that you have 2BB instead of 3 means that you should be willing to raise with slightly more hands than you would have with 3BB .

Off the top of my head , I would say something like a-10+ k-j+ qj , 44+ .
