About LinkBacksI'm 3 hands into this SitnGo and i've got AhKh here. This early I always just call any 3 bets and check/shove flop if I hit or fold to the cbet if I miss. Pretty simple stuff. Theory is that I don't really want to coin flip for my stack so early when there's normally easier money to be made so I play it slow. Sadly this is pretty weak and things typically unfold as shown below. Does anyone out there just shove pre?

Stack sizes?
Check-raising flop is often good here and takes it down a lot.

Check-raising the flop in this hand is bad. This is the third hand of the SnG, so I assume effective stacks are near starting stacks. A c/r is effectively a minraise. I don't mind a shove PF, but it's a high variance play and I'm not too keen on flipping for my tournament this early.

flatting preflop here is worse than shoving and folding

Auto-shove pre-flop after the re-raise.
This is why I never raise standard amounts early on. Make it 200 to go off the bat, or just move-in (it's good for the image, and you'd be surprised the hands that might call you: AQ/AJ/KQ)Read my musings on poker and life at Online Poker Examiner, Poker Examiner, PokerNewsBoy.com, and My Poker Blog

4bet/fold PF, leaning towards folding. As an indicator of how close I think it is:
