I'm new to SNG, as I primarily play SH. My notes on this guy say LAGGY (43/18 in ring games).

Is this a good fold or should I just call? What about the flop bet? Wouldn't a LAG go for a trap if he had 9s or the unlikely straight? His turn bet screamed overcard bluff, but it was so early and there was still a clown left to act.

This fold is good. There are three active players. The villian should be afraid one of you has the nine so when he goes all in it is safe to conclude that he does not fear it because he has it.

You should raise more preflop. I like 100 but you could raise a bit less if you prefer.

The turn is tough. I'm unconvinced that UTG has the 9 (I think he has something like 87), but there's still the button to worry about. I would call because of the size of the pot, but I'm not thrilled about it.
