    Default PLEASE HELP~~~

    I was wondering if its best to call or fold a small-medium pocket pair like 22-JJ if youre in a tournament and have less then 5xbb and someone raises preflop thus putting you all in. Im not sure what would be best. It would seem wise to gamble at that point but at the same time youre probably at best a 50/50 considering they either have over cards or worse case scenario be a huge underdawg if they had a higher pocket pair. Please give me some advice of what in your opinion is best to do THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME.

    ur choice of hands is to wide to give a proper marjoirty decision

    stack sizes play a huge role. And make a HUGE difference.

    but the most generic answer
    22-66 fold.
    77-JJ call.

    live by that for a while. While ur doing that post some hands where this happens, and we will give u a better idea.

    I'd watch out for position too. If it's someone raising pre-flop EP, I definately wouldn't call in that 22-66 area. Maybe up to 99 neither.
    pulling a courtiebee pŏŏl-ĭng ā kôrt-ē-bē (verb phrase):
    1. overvaluing mid pocket pairs
    2. knowing you should fold, but donkishly calling or raising anyway
