If its a tourney, I would go all-in and hope to at least pick up the blinds, maybe get lucky and double up if someone calls with AK or the like and doesn't hit.

If its a ring table, then fold.

Obviously this all depends on who you are at the table with and how you have read their games, so there are no hard and fast rules. But for me, shortstack in a tourney, I may as well get taken out betting on a viable hand rather than letting the blinds eat away my chips.

Depends I think on the level of the blinds, if I can see a cheap flop then I'll just call. 99 and above probably all in as a raise is probably all in anyway. Its worth leaving a possible lifeline I think.

Cheers

Mac

All in ..you have more of a chance to improve your stack and stay in the game plus it's a little intimidating to the other players knowing your only going to risk with fair hand..
Good Luck
