In a MTT, i'm in the bb with 

I have 3.1k, blinds are 100/200, my stack has yo yo'ed the whole tournie!

The table is 5 handed, UTG plus 1 min raises, Button calls, i'm in the bb and jam. Blinds are going up to 150/300 in 3 minutes, so i'll have 10 bigs there. There is no antes in the game.

Would you jam or fold here?

If it's a fold, what range do you need to be shoving here?

Original raiser has been active. He has 8k chips, button has 5k

I think it's actually closer to a call than you think, but personally I'd want a little bit more than we have. I jam too.

I don't like jamming here in a live casino comp because when we get called by the opener, the button is gunna mutter something about 'value' and overcall with a lot of hands with the intention of checking it down imo and small pairs are pretty much the nut low multiway

I originally thought fold but is it only 200 for us to call?

If so call then check fold. Or sometimes call then pretend you are Phil Ivey when the 4 hits. Is your opponent any good? If you rate him a bit then shove.

very very cleaar call imo. Why do you not want to call and check/fold 80% of flops when you are getting 5.5/1 on the call and only need to win a small cbet on average every time you flop a set to make it profitable

set mine from 15bbs? Not sure I like that. Prefer the jam for the fold equity.
Don't think we are in great shape a lot of the time here though.

I've never played any game, or done anything that was so powerful at making you believe that you 'owned' it... before making you realize that you actually don't.

We barely have fold equity, what reason do you have for not wanting to peel other than you dont like it?

Just calling, most times it's just burning chips imo.

The raiser has been active, and is opening up really wide. That's why i jammed to be fair.

Most times if called i'm prob racing. The guy who called, it was for most of his chips, i defo think he could have folded here, easily.

Reason i posted this up was my friend was saying he has stopped making these moves with low pocket pairs in this type of spot.

Just wondered what everyone else thought, interesting hearing everyones views.
