4 people left in a UB 10-player SNG. Top 3 get money.
Blinds are 100-200.
Blind chips are about:
UTG - 2800
Me - 1500
SB - 1100
BB - 4400
I have the button and pocket 8's.
UTG calls 200.
I call 200. (I would have raised had UTG not called)
SB folds.
BB checks.
Flop is A 7 2, rainbow.
UTG bets minimum (200).
I raise to 700 (my thinking here is that if UTG had an ace he would have raised preflop, and I am trying to take the pot here.)
BB folds, UTG calls.
Turn 4
UTG checks, I move all-in, he calls.
UTG shows A6o.
I don't improve and I'm out in 4th.
Should I raise pre-flop?
Should I drop on the turn?
Given his hand and how he played it, I'm not sure I could have won the hand, but I think I could have given myself a better chance to. Any thoughts?
