Do you push on the top here? villain had raised 600 chips with the second hand of the SNG (blinds 10/20) with KK? I would be inclined to fold as I have a

good stack and I'm at best a coin flip ...


Thanks!

Hand 1 I fold with your read that the raiser was tight. I'm less worried about the caller but with that sort of action there's a good chance that one of them has an A, reducing my outs on the flop. BTW I don't understand the HH, onepercent is raising 100 to 150 but blinds are 10/20 and your M is 50 ???

Hand 2 I would shove over, blinds are getting bigger and this could well be an isolation raise with a range of hands that you are ahead of (AT-AQ, KJ/KQ, etc.).

Actually, I do not have with me the hand history so I had to build from my memory
I've corrected the blinds and M

hand 1- is read dependant

hand 2 is easy. this should be treated as a push from SB into you and forget about the other shorty.

guys previous raise just proves he's a donk.

[jimmy44]

For Hand 2, I agree that villain is a donk, but should I been risking my SNG tournament on a hand where I'm underdog 45-55?

your assuming he has a PP

[jimmy44]

Yup, maybe it was luck, but indeed he had 88 ...

I agree that I would in front of everything but a PP, but again, was it worth to risk it? If I had around 1400 chips I would have pushed, without hesitation, but with my stack as it was ... I did not felt confortable ...

oh shit i didnt notice how both of you have huge stacks

now i know what he had so now my answer is tainted. i push over the top here, if he had QQ+ he'd raise a smaller amount. his hand is weak by over betting pf.

[Pants_101]

You never know he has a PP and even if he does your not that big a dog unless its AA or KK. A lot of the time he has a weaker ace which you should crush or some other random junk. You come out ahead overall IMO.
