You basically have to pick any decent hand and shove it. If you do not get a decent hand by the time you are down to around 5 big blinds, you may have to shove any two cards whenever there is a very tight player in in the big blind.
How much should small blind and big blind be?
In a Limit game, the small blind is half the minbet (the lower of the two limits) and the big blind is double that. For example, in a $4/$8 Limit game, the small blind is $2 and the big blind is $4. In a No-Limit game, the game is usually referred to by the blind sizes.
How many big blinds is low?
six big blinds

Can you make up blinds between the button and the big blind?

Do you post double the big blind in lowball?
(In lowball, a new player must either post an amount double the big blind or wait for the big blind.) A new player who elects to let the button go by once without posting is not treated as a player in the game who has missed a blind, and needs to post only the big blind when entering the game.
How is the big blind different from the small blind?
The big blind is typically twice the size of the small blind, although not always. Antes are different from blinds in that they are paid by every player at the table, while the small blind and big blind are only paid by players in those positions.
How big of a raise do you need in the small blind?
When facing a 3 blind raise (with no callers), the player in the small blind needs ~36% equity to profitably call. In tournaments, the standard open-raise size is usually 2.5 blinds or less.
