Would anyone just see the flop? I really dont see how Im not pushing this hand.

Reads on UTG bigstack so far? How did he/she get his stack? If he/she had been playing tight I might consider laying this down. If he/she had been loose then this is an instapush - particularly with the two callers' dead money in the pot.

I dont see how i fold 10/10. Its either shove or call, thought there was a lotta dead money in the pot 1010 is so tricky though.


thanks

Sorry, missed your stack size relative to the blinds, yes I agree with the 2 callers you have to shove this.

NP.

For some reason I thought blinds were 25/50 and UTG had just raised 6x BB. Must have been looking at another hand at the same time

[TLR]

I just call this preflop.
Limping/Minraises from UTG often indicate a strong hand, so you have to give it some credit, short stack is definitly not going anywhere, darin probably have some drawing hand.
I call it and see a flop, and I want to see what UTG does after the flop.
As the flop came I probably go broke after the flop

[Erudito]

I would push all-in here with 1010. If UTG had raised 4X BB, I would be more careful, but because UTG only minimum raised his hand, it is not easy to put him in a strong hand. I remember the last 5 SNGo's I played, I lost 5 all-in pushes with QQ, KK, JJ because the EP players limped with KK or AA, and I was dominated. That was really frustating. It seems that in low SNGos, players love to slow play AA and KK and limp or min. raise.

I hate the min raise here with JJ, too easily will result in drawing hands drawing out on you, that being said, I'm not sure what i would do here. U can call and only risk 1/6 of your stack here, hoping for a set of course, but still having a very strong hand particularly when low cards fall. I'm not sure I push over with this, especially with the possibility the min raise is indicating real strength. I might consider making a crying fold here actually, especially if I have seen him make a min raise with a big hand.

No way im folding 1010 there, especially my stack size and his bet.

[bruinblue]

TT is an instant push for me. i would have to have a very strong read on UTG to consider not pushing, and the only other option is calling. however, with your stack, theres just no way you can flat call here IMO.

the dead money in the pot is just added incentive to get your money in preflop rather than risk overcards on the flop

[tcpj4]

Push and hope to isolate the short stack and pick up the dead money. UTG minraise may be a monster, but it may also be a total donk hand like KJ, A9o or ATo (especially if you're playing small stakes SNGs. I don't know what the buyin is from your post, but from the play of JJ and the shortstack, it looks lower). If you call and flop all undercards, you're still out of position and the hands you're losing to PF are still going to be beating you and probably won't fold. If the flop comes with any overcard, you are running the risk of getting bluffed out, while at the same time you have no opportunity to bluff.
