Too much of your stack to call off pre-flop. He's an idiot for making such a small turn bet. Looks like the 8 might have saved you on the river though, right?

95 is too much of 1870?

I'm not so sure it did. I think this dude has him beat, but I don't really disagree with the actions by the hero.

At first I thought he played it like he had 6x, but he raised preflop, and fairly big. He's gotta have AA or TT, (maybe 66, but i doubt it), or just be really silly.

It is when the next biggest stack is 800.

You do realize that 95 is too much to call to potentially win 770 though right?

I felt that with my big stack it was a slightly -EV call i could afford to make due to the huge advantage having a 2500 chip stack after 2 hands can have in a SNG. I felt the advantage it would allow me in hands further down the road in the tournament would more than make up for the slight -EV of calling 95 to win 770.

Then there is the added possibility that he is raising with AK or AQs, and I can outplay him post-flop.

Am I totally wrong in thinking this?

Its too many BBs IMO to see a flop...playing PPs isnt always only about implied odds and % of stack...7bb raise here makes me think you got out boated...esp after the 35 bet...he flopped the FH and kept u around hoping u'd draw?
