Moving up to the 33s - Hand #2

[HoldingFolding]

Villain is from the AleoMagus School of SnGs, he didn't play a single hand levels 1 through 3. He just doubled up through super-lag chip leader having flopped the nut straight with 47o in the BB. Blinds have just jumped to 100 and I think he's making a textbook gear change. Would you assume he's on any two cards? Would you avoid confrontation with this hand? Despite the fact you believe you have the better two cards would you wait to be the aggressor yourself?

you're in no worse of a position than the other 4. i see no reason to take a stand...at this time...with that hand.

oops, sry - i thought villian was the chip dog.

eh...i still fold. blinds aren't that big yet, still time to outplay the other shorties. besides, come the time, i want to dictate the action (and my ultimate demise /images/graemlins/wink.gif)

Considering you are a dog against A2o, a fold is a good play here.

From your post it doesn't sound like you have enough information to make this call. If you are sure that this is a steal though with a very wide hand range then you might as well go for it. if the button is pushing 22+,A2+,K2+,Q9+ then its +.2%. You had better be really sure of your read though, which is tricky to get in a short PP SnG

I'm pretty sure this is insta-fold. Even against a very loose pushing range, short of any two your hand is not doing so well. Take the button w/ 10xBB and steal it back.

Easy, easy fold, everyone else is right. KJ is really bad with 10x BB to call with.
