When the action gets to you preflop the pot is 110 and there are 4!!! callers. In this case I think you have to make it 120-150 to go. You really want to be shorthanded by the flop. And making it 90 to go is gonna cause 1 person to fold


On this flop with 5 active opponents I fold. I wouldn't be surprised to see every PP dealt make to the flop here. I also wouldn't be surprised to see any PP greater than 88 call you down unimproved here.

The flop raise is terrible. Just terrible. In the low buyin SNGs I'm used to people will call you down here with QT EASY. Given that your FE is so small...and there are 5 active opponents you will have to show down the best hand. And that is unlikely.


Once you get to the turn the pot is pretty big. I think you might actually have odds to call this turn bet. But damn it looks like you are beat. He just bet into you after your actions went medium raise, big raise. So on second thought fold here too. I doubt a single A or K will save you.
