I have had this happen to me so many times and dont really know what to do with them. Im by no means a great player but I love to play and one hand that has always had me stumped is that danged middle pocket pair i.e. pocket fives to pocket nines.
Im looking for some advice, if you were dealt a middle pocket pair early on in the tournament (lets say first 10 hands) and another player pushes or raises BIG would you call or would you fold? Also, if you raise with a middle pocket pair and then get reraised all in or reraised BIG what do you do?
Im looking for some advice for both of those questions, it seems I never play it right any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

i would play for set value, try to see a cheap flop, and give up most of the time when you dont hit set,
i would raise it pre in any pos, if you are first in, or call small raise to see flop, then fold or push if you hit set,
if somone reraises you big or pushes allin you fold and save your chips, espesialy early in tourney when peeple are donks,
hope that is helpfull,

As for calling all-ins, read and learn to apply this How To: Analyze Calling An All-in (<-- link).
As for the rest of your question, it's entirely too vague. Maybe you should post some hands to see more specific spots that might help to answer your questions.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
