Is this even muckable at the PokerStars $5 level?

    Default Is this even muckable at the PokerStars $5 level?

    I have J7 of clubs and complete my SB. BB chooses not to raise.

    Flop comes 7dJsAs.

    In general, I have little respect for my opponents at this level (I raised 6 x BB with AKo and got FOUR cold callers. I normally get my sets called down by shit like middle-pair or even a two overcard draw.), but it's the 6th hand of 3 table $5 SNG, and I have 1300 chips.

    I bet the flop, get raised, re-raise, get pushed, call, figuring that my opponent was some fish who fell in love with a hand like A9, as is usually the case.

    never consider a hand unmuckable unless you have the nuts. the other player can get good hands too, regardless of how bad they are.

    With all that action....pretty easy laydown, depending on your reraise amount and how commited you are: A-7, A-J, 7-7, J-J, flush draw...hell even A-A wanting to gamble a bit and win more than the SB.
    I guess A-7 is the most likely hand that could beat you in this situation.....of course A-K or A-Q may push as well, which would be a good thing unless they suck out on you. Almost anything is likely that early in the SnG....and since it is so early, I am really trying to avoing going all in on the flop with bottom 2-pair.

    I probably would have folded, but you've got a point. Some of the information in topics and SnG guides doesn't apply to the cheapest SnG's, because of the extremely loose play that sometimes exists at that level.

    I've had TPGK + nut flush draw called down by a Q high open-ended straight draw before.

    Sometimes the action before you dictates the play you make.

    If you bet, get reraised, someone else goes all in, someone else calls, You dont have the best ahnd anymore.

    I'm confused as to how many players are with u on the flop. If it's only bb and the raises and reraise weren't tiny, I call the all in here. There is a lot in the pot, and I think ur ahead more than half the time. I put him on a strong ace. If the raises were small, however, I think I fold.

    Yeah are there three in? I'm confused too. against 1 opp I'm not laying down here... two it's iffy but probably not. Any A thinks they are ahead on the flop, and people will gamble early with a flush draw.

    Had similar spot once (about 5 hands in, 50 1 t SNG), Q7 in SB, limp, UTG had limped, flop Q67r, I check, BB bets, UTG calls, I raise, BB goes AI! UTG calls! I think for a looong time, call. UTG flips over AA, BB 67.
