Anything as long as you don't call.

Folding is probably best though.

Without any information: Depends on the buyin as well I think. In a 50ish tournament I would be more willing to fold than in a 20ish.

I am folding pre as well, suited I could push, off I think it is just too bad.


It is ok to fold hands toward the bottom of your perceived range when you are not getting good odds to stack off.

If you had opened closer to the button instead of UTG 8-handed, then your perceived range would be wider, and then your default play should be to push.
