    Default Super annoying situations

    No exact hand histories. Just representative examples. Assume in-line (doesn't mean he's good or bad) opponents and middle stages of single-table SNGs (5-7 players remaining).

    1. Playing against min-raises in the yellow zone:

    Blinds 50-100, Folded to SB who you barely covered and min-raises. You have 15BB (1500) and T9s in BB. You have never seen him raise more than 3x preflop. What do you do?

    2. When you don't like the flop and opponent makes a weak Stop-n-go play:

    You have 17BB (1700) and open raise 3x (300) with 99 in CO and SB, who barely has you covered, calls. Flop QJ7 rainbow and SB bet $200 into the $700 pot. Now what?

    3. Completing the small blind when M is small:

    Blinds 100-200, 2 moderately-stacked (15BB) limpers to you (stack 1200 (6BB)) holding 44 in SB. Do you complete/shove/fold?

    I call. I like cheap flops in position with that hand! The nits will tell you to fold though.

    Crappy spot. Calling is the worst option IMO. I guess it depends on villain but if you're going to continue make it 650 or something, then give up (which I would do most of the time.)
