TDYM - small pairs with 10bb
Find myself chopping and changing my strategy with these.
Say you have 22 - 66, all players still in, your utg/utg + 1 or even CO, are you shoving/minraising/3xing or folding?
Some of my least favourite decisions in the TDYMs these scenarios.
More of a general question/thoughts based post for now. Will post specific examples when I come across them.

I don't play many dyms on Sky as I prefer my dym 10 handed, but for me these are folds really from any position except the blinds, probably until were down to 4 players and then its about exploiting the smaller stacks who don't want to be bubble boy. Even from the blinds Im not calling a raise unless ive got some strong indication that the raiser has a vpip of stupid proportions.
The only caveat to this is your own stack. if Im less than 5bb its a shove.

I wouldn't shove your whole stack in if you've missed and there are lots of over-pairs on the board as you'll probably get called and eliminated. A decent sized bet as a semi-bluff might work because then if you get raised or called you will know that you probably are not in a good spot.
Due to the generally loose nature of turbos (and the fact you have far fewer bigs to your stack to begin with) 10 bigs is not as bad as it might otherwise be considered so I wouldn't panic and shove all in necessarily - I've come back from just 100 chips to win before. Happened more than once so it can be done.
yellow - reg/decent
orange - good
red - bigger winner
green - bad
blue - fish
which one are you?
I'm a greeny/blue, unfortunately you can't tag yourself.
This one is close, ran some ICM numbers on it. You would be shocked at how close this is. 10bb is deep for TDYM and getting into a 50/50 is the last thing you want.
Basically there is still 2 mins of the level left and these tourneys run on 2 minute levels. You will get it through a fair bit however there likely are better opportunities to get your money in as crazy as that sounds. 10bb is a lot mid stages and there is surprisingly still quite a bit of play left. When running the numbers I have my opponents calling range at 10% which covers roughly ATo/A9s/KQs and pairs 66+, it's interesting reading for sure. 10% is loose and these numbers should be less however I find on sky the calling standards are too loose so try to adjust for that.
The above is for unknown players, when I get a bit a game time with opponents I can adjust the calling ranges accordingly.
