    Default Is this correct play on final table?

    Is this correct play here? I may have posted this in wrong forum though. Its a 180 man sng. If so, then mods please move it.

    No reason to clash with the big stack here. He wont call you with AJ or worse, I would think, so your looking at best a race here.

    With your stack, I would be just calling here. We have position on him. And if someone comes over the top, they have a better hand, and we get this information for 2400 rather than 30,000.

    calling is the worst option. What flops do we like if we smooth call?

    this is a tough spot. No reads on UTG+1? If min raise is standard and he's been active, I think you should push. If not I would give it up.

    Table I was moved from had UTG+1 on it, so I was familiar with his play. CO I was not familiar with and we are only close to one orbit into this table. I was bb when table assembled. I put utg+1 on Low Ax or even KQ, KJ. CO I figured had about the same, maybe a low to mid pp?

    My next question was going to be. If this is correct play, at which position is it not correct play? FT, we are going for win now.

    Honestly, if UTG+1's range is that wide, I like this play from any position. There's a lot of chips out there, and our hand is huge to his range. I'm not worried about CO's smooth call here - most of the hands that typically smooth call are folding and many that he calls with are okay against us.
