Is this play okay? ($20 sng)

A6 obviously made a horrible call (IMO), but should I have done something different here? Not any reads on people that they are loose callers. Also, tabsev has raised his big hands strong so far.

I dont like it unless I have a read that the player in question raises too much.

I think that calling and pushing on any flop is probably better here.

[iRoD]

I would agree that calling the pf raise and then pushing the flop as long as it has few scare cards. This allows to you get away from 99 when the is say A K J or something. Obviously use judgment when the flop is 10 high, but even then its hard to lay your hand down without a good read.


In this case, the raiser would probably lay his hand down once he missed the flop and if he doesn't believe you then he's calling as a huge underdog with a three outer. Which is obviously something you want.
