What's the weakest hand you'd push in with utg at mtt tourney with 12 blinds left? Standard raise maybe? Thoughts, please.

UTG, I push with QQ or better.

depends on image. ive pushed a lot of stuff utg with a very strong image.

Thanks. I don't see how image plays as large a role as it would in other cases though seeing as I'm short stacked and it was an utg raise. People would just be looking to race with me with any old 1010 or ak?

Image plays a huge part here; both yours and the players at your table.

Another 'it depends'.

What's my image?
What's the payout structure?
What are the blinds' stacks?
How agreesive are the blinds?
When do the blinds go up?
How aggressive is the table?

Or as Chuck says, it depends. Could be worth pushing all sorts of things depending on the answers to the above.
