Hi,
I am really new to Online Poker and just getting started. After reading into the very basic stuff about the best playstyle (TAG), range adjustment for ur starting position, pott-odds and equity, taking the stacks of all players into account, I recently set up pokertrack HUD and also tryin to factor in VPIP PRF into my decision. That said, all the information (not the HUD, I am pretty okay with the way I configured my HUD Profile, but all the things I try to learn and consider about strategy) it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming and though to make a decision.
One thing I realized that I frequently struggle with are mid pairs in MTTs especially in early position. I have a recent examples where I didn't really knew what to do and I wonder if my decision was right:
1st Situation: My Stack is about ~33 BB from UTG+1
I get dealt pocket 7s and thought since I am atleast somewhat deep I try to set mine and limp. A pretty loose player (who raisd PF) does a min CBET. I get pot 3.5 and I only need about 28% Equity. However since he is loose I consider to be all the Kings off and suited + rags in his range. So I fold, was this the right play in this Situation?

2 General Questions:
1. I dont understand the emoticon to choose for creating the thread, which one should I use or what do they mean?
2. I watch alot of training vids and tournament reviews on utube (like gripsed poker), and they mostly define Stacks like this:
- Shallow Stack <100 BB
- Deep 100 - 200 BB
- Very Deep > 200 BB
This doesnt seem to apply for Micro Stakes MTT since, the deepest Stacks on Average are max. around like 50 BB (gotta say I play most of the time turbo), does anyone have a better segmentation for this kind of tournaments? Maybe with some notes on, at which size its a shove or fold stack (maybe around 10)?
Thanks in advance and best regards
