    Default End of a SnG has huge implied odds am I right?

    I've been lurking for a bit, but now I'm on Stars and can easily get my hand histories (pokerroom's tournament reports are farked). This is the end of a $5 SnG I played the other day... Let me know if you like this play or not. I figure if I can hit any of the 6 cards that help me, I win the thing right there. I also figured that my opponent put me on Ax, which he would have dominated until the river, and then of course you call the push on the river because it's a split, right? If he reraises me harder, I'm obviously folding before the river.

    That's a tough one. Short handed I don't want to play drawing hands. I look to be ahead going in so I can be the aggressor. Sometimes it gets me in trouble (when I think I'm ahead going in) but that's the way I like to play. I probably would've folded the PF and flop raise knowing he had the K or A, but it worked out for you - and with the big chip lead I don't think it's the worst gamble I've seen. Grats & welcome.
    I'll be a rootin' tootin' shootin' damn fool, protectin' my chips.

    I would fold. It's easy for him to have a K or A. I wouldnt risk doubling someone up, in hopes of getting lucky. But you did and you won, so its all good.
