rvanguelp was average in tightness.

What do you do here?

I would put them on a big pp. However, your raise of 275 was a little weak UTG and may have made people think that you don't have that good of a hand. Tough call but I would fold depending upon any reads that I had of rv.

well, short-stack push doesn't mean a whole lot, and rvanguelp probably knows that - thats why he pushed. I doubt either one has AA/KK. I'd push back, but i'm willing to gamble in this spot. hey - they're suited!

I'd put CC46 on AK/AQ and rvanguelp on TT-QQ (or maybe visa versa). If you don't want a cointoss and would rather ensure ITM, fold. me - I'll play this. (Note that if it was the WSOP, I'd fold, but in a lower-level on-line sng, count me in. Online, enough weaker hands do this to make it +EV, and the prize is a lot lower anyway....)

edit - actually, if either one has AK/AQ, you've lost a bunch of outs - it's a lot closer to a fold than I first thought. I think a fold is actually appropriate here. (sorry - still working on my first cup of coffee - lol)

Being suited made me think all in as well at first. I agree though that if this a cheapy SNG then I'm in there. Like I said it depends if you have any reads. Oh, and if you would have raised it up a little bit more you could have had a better idea. I would have raised it the amount of the short stack.

Folding here isn't bad. I lean towards calling because these SNGs are a bitch to play at high blinds short stacked with 8-9 people still in. Short stack's hand is irrelvant (although he might triple up here). Big stack could have a hand as bad as 77 - but is still a flip+ against you - better if shorty has an A (highly likely).

Best case:
AK vs KQ vs KQ... (70%! equity)

2nd best:
AK vs 2 lower pairs... (40% equity)

And gets worse from there.

AK vs AA AK or something.
Of course, it depends which player (short or tall) stack has the better hand...

I think this is a pot odds call based on what you already stuck in there - plus only 1 guy can cripple you.
