How do you play pocket 10s?

So, how much do you bet here? Both opponents are LAGs.

I would raise to 400. If SB or BB pushes too bad for him because you now have his chips.

Wow down to 3 handed and you're only on level 4? Perhaps I've been too harsh for saying that the 20% vig in the $6s is too much, /images/graemlins/wink.gif.

As for the hand, I first looked at the fact you were all 3-handed and thought 'push.' Now I'm not as sure. How about a healthy raise and call if the SB pushes all-in and the BB folds? The problem is that if the BB is *really* aggro with any two it may be better to just push allin here to begin with.

If the BB is REALLY aggressive, I think I might be tempted by the min-raise. Screams "re-raise me!!!" Aggressive BB re-raises and you can come over the top for something worth more than just the 150 chips in the blind.

this actually works very well against very agressive opponents.. might be worth a try. dont really know how to play 3 handed at 50-100 very well..

I either get tricky and limp hoping for either of them to try to push me around pre flop and nailing him with an all in reraise, or I make a raise of 350 and go from there. The SB probably will either fold or push so the odds of you facing a tricky post flop decision are somewhat reduced. I like to call here and hope to nail one of them trying to be a bully. It's pretty easy to get away from this hand post flop if I've only put 100 chips in.

I decided to go All-In and ran into BB's pocket Queens and was eliminated.

I figured if I raised to 400 or so and the SB had a decent hand he'd go All-in. The BB had a big stack early and was bullying people effectivly, so I thought he'd reraise me if he had anything and calling his reraise probably would've put half my stack in the pot so just taking charge and going all-in seemed to be right.

I think the real problem was that this SNG was moving so fast. This was only the 34th hand and it was over after 37 hands. Normally, when we're down to 3 people the blinds are 150/300 or 200/400 about 20-25% of my stack, but at this point they were only 50/100 and certainly not worth risking my whole stack. If I had thought about that I would've just raised 300 or 400 and call an All-in from the SB. If the SB folds and the BB made a strong reraise, I would've given the hand up.

This is a bad move. You have 24BB. You aren't in desperation mode in the slightest, and have the 3rd stack well outchipped. Just raise to 300.

I would raise to 300, but Im absolutely not folding if reraised by the big stack.
