re: Poker & How many big blinds before committing your tournament with a pair?
Your stack size is one of the criteria for playing your hand in any given hand.
In addition, you need to determine the size of the table, your position at the table, the activity of the players at the table, the level of the players at the table and their position in relation to you, it is important to know the game The player level sits on BB.
If we take a strictly theoretical basis (without the influence of other criteria), then in your case with 15bb, raise from 99+ from position with EP, from 22+ to 88 fold, but this is all taking into account that there is no ante yet, if there is ante 99+ allin, 88 and below fold. However, from the position of MP + 88 is included in the list of hands for pushing with ante.
