    Default Early in SnG, Trips on Turn

    Villain's stats were 77/1/0.63 over 9 hands so the stats are worth nothing. However, AF is low because he had an infinite river AF. Flop AF was 3, and Turn AF was 1.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    saw flop|saw showdown

    Hero (t2720)
    UTG (t2170)
    UTG+1 (t1470)
    MP1 (t1290)
    MP2 (t900)
    MP3 (t1640)
    CO (t380)
    Button (t1470)
    SB (t1460)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 4, 3.
    UTG calls t20, 6 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: (t60) Q, 9, 4 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks.

    Turn: (t60) 4 (3 players)
    SB bets t80, Hero raises to t220, UTG raises to t420, SB folds, Hero ???

    Just call for pot control. No need creating huge pots this early. The AF info means nothing over 9 hands, it's the stat that needs the biggest sample size. As played fold to raise.

    I know that 9 hands is not a sample size, I just wanted to give all the information I had on the villain.

    Do you mean just call SB's bet? Normally I am as I have a weak kicker and I do like keeping the pots small during the early stages of SnGs (I'm normally a rock in the early going). However, I wanted to try something new since it seems these things have become full of rocks for the most part.

    Yeah it's an overbet anyway. You just wanna see a showdown. You're risking a huge amount of chips with a pretty marginal hands once you raise + call his 3bet, and the extra chips wont give you huge advantage anyway.
