Re: 55 ftw

Pretty standard fold imo. Retain your status as 3rd chipstack out of 10 players with 6 qualifying, why get involved in such a dodgy marginal spot.
Any pocket pair UTG is in a dodgy situation bar the big pairs really unless you get lucky and flop the set.

With half the table as short stacks theres a decent chance someone will push all in leaving you in a tough spot where youre hardly ever gona be anything better than a coinflip if you call. Probably flipping two thirds of the time and fucked the other third.

Dont see the point in getting involved especially when in a good spot in a satellite. I would actually fold this utg any time the stacks were not deep in any sort of tournament (which is most of the time in a donkament). If you want to try to take advantage of possible tight nearing the bubble play its better just to wait til your on the button and then try a steal with anything than contribute chips to the pot here in search of a set.
