Hand Help

[TomRowe]

Just finished 4th in a $10+1 SNG. Gonna post 2 hands that I would like some feedback on. Neither are bad beats ... just wanting to know how others might have played these hands.

I am on the bubble, short-stacked. I have been at 8-10 BB for some time, so I am folding or pushing. Won blinds to keep me around with a few all-ins.

I thought I raised all in, but had the $75 small blind left. Hope that didn't make a difference in his thought.

Obviosly this is a coin flip situation with me a 53/47 dog ... so this is more of a bubble question. Was I too eager ... did I have more time? If that is the case, what are you looking for at this stage in the SNG?

Thanks.

I'd fold. He raised too much relative to your stack. He's not very likely to fold. If you treat his hand as a push, it is a very clear fold.

I think you need something like 77+, AJs+, AQ+.

yeah, this was a definte fold, he raised 1/2 of your stack. unless you have a BIG hand, you SHOULD not push over top here.

KQ isn't a hand I like to be taking against PFRs. If you had some fold equity, then sometimes this is fine if he will laydown Ax or small pairs, but here hes gonna call and usually be ahead.

Fold and try and find a better spot.
