SnG, top 3 payout?

Not a push for me.

I might even fold it depending on how the table has been.

You gotta be kidding?

4 more people to act, I'm only getting called on an allin by a coin flip or higher pair. Also, taking the 200 in the pot isn't going to change my fortunes much.

I'd call it. Assess the flop and go from there.

I'm not suggesting I'm right, just saying how I'd play it at this stage of a SnG.

Drop a couple of people from the table or in later position yes I'd push.

With 890 chips, you've got three options here as I see it...1. flat call and hope to hit the lottery with trips, knowing that you'll likely see at least one overcard on the flop and find yourself in a really bad position of what to do after the flop; 2. push all-in to isolate since your hand plays best against a single opponent or 3. fold.

Unless the table has been tigher than James Dobson's @ss, folding isn't a legitimate option for me. I also don't like anything less than an all-in raise as you won't have enough ammunition left after a favorable board to prevent chasers from having proper odds to try and draw out on you.

There's 250 in the pot right now...I like the play to push in and try to pick it up on the spot.

Yeah, odds of a pocket pair JJ+ are quite low, a good player wouldn't call with less than AK, and his is putting himself in the coin flip spot. Bad players will call with all manner or pockets and A-x. Only the button, the blinds and the limper left to act. He would have raised with anything dominating, and may call with A9 or worse. Last thing you want to do is give QJ, Ax and Kx a free ride to beat you.

You people are weird to me.

I'm of the TJ/Malmuth school that belives when you're under 10BB's in your stack, PUSH IT IN with anything with strength.

AA-22, AK-AT, KQ-KT

A9-A7, K9, QJ or QT maybe in right spot.

This move is based on position and your distance from the money, but Bonch is far from the money and has little to dance with. If you're not gonna push with tens, what the hell are you playing for? To catch Aces and Kings every other hand?

I sorta agree, but SnG its more like 8ish bbs for that

Hey man, I said push!

I'm the weird one.


Fold everything and let god sort them out.
