SNG 10+1 ITM. QQ with 2 all ins before me

Results 1 to 9 of 9
  1. #1

    Default SNG 10+1 ITM. QQ with 2 all ins before me

    Stack sizes
    Button Seat 1 2135
    SB Seat 4 5030
    BB Seat 8 (ME) 2835

    I get dealt QQ

    Button Goes all in.
    SB thinks, then calls.

    Do you push, fold, or call.

    Why?

    Multiple options:
    - You fold
    Let the SB take out the Button. So your atleast #2.
    Or Button wins and everyone has the same stack again (more or less).

    - You aswell go All-in
    ITM, you're never gonna get such a good hand again.
    If you loose from the Button but win from the SB you still have 1400$
    If you win you'll be #1 if you dont screw it up.
    Get unlucky and they have AA, KK. But atleast you made some money this sng.


    I would go all-in

    It depends on how tight the chip leader is and what the blinds are, would the chip leader call that with hands worse than AA, KK, AK? (probably since i am assuming you are still playing on Bodog). If you win you are heads up with a strong chip lead and even if you lose you can still get a second place. So unless the blinds are low and you put the chip leader on a monster I call. Also he hesitated before calling so I doubt he has a monster, they normally call quite quick with AA, AK or KK (unless hes really really tricky and wanted a call from you as well). Call.

    Def. need to know what the blinds are.

    >200? Button probably pushing with a worse pair. Call; push the rest in on a safe flop, fold a yucky one. Sucks but if an A or K comes SB will almost assuredly take the button out.

    <200 button needs a pretty good hand to push, and SB needs an awfully good one to call. Your best hope is that they have each others' outs, i.e. AK. Still, in an SNG I'm likely to call anyway. In an MTT the payout difference is just too much, and I'd let them duke it out.

    With the info you gave.....I would say fold. Someone is either going out or getting seriously hurt here. The SB called, he didn't push so he doesn't seem to worried about you which to me represents strength. Not to mention he put a good chunk of chips at risk calling in the first place.

    i bet you're way ahead of both... Ok the first all in didn't want to be called probably and is AX is my guess. I wouldn't be suprised if the second one was also, which gives u even more of an advantage. I think you push here and go on to easy victory most of the time.

    i push because you have the short stack covered.

    I can't see them having KK or AA, so I would call. Theres no need to push preflop with a monster hand with only 3 people...unless the blinds are a significant portion of their stack. Their probably sharing aces or both have lower pocket pairs, and you're a huge favorite.
