Actually, I think villian makes this move with any 2 cards.

The previous orbits, I folded A4s and K8o the same situation getting big odds. Frankly, I'd rather call it all in with the K2 than the A4 . . . .

Villian was making this a very tough table . . . he was a real player -- maybe even a SNG ringer (the others were just tools . . . at times I could read the suits of their cards by the way they played). When it folded around, I knew that if I raised, he'd go all in. I almost just went all in, but against 2 possible hands I didn't like the move. I figured if villian finally passed and BB reraised, I might be in real trouble and I could lay it down.

And at these blinds at a short table as the big stack, if you're not willing to raise any button that folds around . . .particularly a K-high hand, you shouldn't be playing SNG's. At least that's what I told myself when I forced the raise here. Ha!

To be quite honest, I knew when I made the raise I was tilting and was going to call the SOB if he did it one more time. After all, I'm Rick James Biatch.

Frankly, it's one of those "do the wrong thing at the right time moves" . . . this is one of those SNGs where you win without picking up a decent hand because of luck and sheer tenacity to keep raising every unopened pot.

Forget the call for a moment. . . . you're Me, on the button, it folds around. Blinds are steep . . . if you don't at least steal once per round (average) or pick up a big hand, you'll go from first to worst in a hurry.

What do you do?
