    I feel very uncomfortable playing 66-99 with the 25bbish stack...
    When facing a raise I kinda feel frozen bc: shoving will win the pot most of the time, which will typically add ~<10% to your stack, but there are prob not any lower pairs calling your all in, and only a couple high card hands calling, so you will be lucky to be in a coinflip but you will mostly be crushed; 3bet/calling will not induce enough lower pairs to jam to make it profitable either imo, i may be wrong tho; flatting feels kinda wrong too since i will have to fold most flops and i'm not getting a great price to set mine; folding feels way too nitty. Every option in this situation feels a little uncomfortable to me. How do you guys treat these hands in this type of spot? Also, how do you play them first in...are u raise/folding, raise/calling, open shoving, open folding?

    If you aren't comfortable with a play then chances are it's OK to pass on it. I generally just rely on my HUD with these hands.
