Well, you're not getting nearly 7:1 from the pot (odds of hitting your set), and you're against a bevy of other players at least several of whom are likely to improve on the flop. You're also risking 1/4 of your stack before the flop and it's early in the tournament.

Easy laydown, IMO.

Its an easy laydown. This early in an SNG, I would only play my pokcet pairs for a limp. Be ass tight in the early rounds.

Poker is a horrible mistress.

Indeed.

Your story seems very, VERY familiar to me.

But it was a good fold.

Standard fold.

'Nuff said.
