    Barring reads, I play it how you played it. You can only fold this if you have a strong read that he won't raise anything less than AK and QQ+. He raised it after four folds, so the raise could have very well been with something much weaker than what you hold.

    How many tables was this SnG?

    just 1 table at the $6 level. He spent a long time considering the raise. I thought he was considering whether or not his cards were good enough to steal the blinds from the button.

    Had no real reads. The guy limped any ace early on and i folded to his raise on JTo about three orbits earlier when i was tighter.

    i dont think the rr is warranted b/c of ur chip stack necessarily, but more so by his position and stack size. i think its a good move, especially if you have a good read on him.

    Looks good to me, as courtiebee said, barring reads that he was super tight, this looks like a standard button steal so his range should be pretty wide (read: AQo is ahead of it).

    I'd push it, you lost your first in vigourish but your hand is objectively strong and there's no guarantee the villain's raise means real strength given the situation. If you run into something nasty it's just bad luck.

    FWIW

    thanks for the reassurance guys.

    Not that it matters but he had KK and bust me out. Still i guess you're gonna run into hands like that from time to time.
