In a $5 SnG, this is a very easy allin.

besides being a 4s Ac 4d flop (rainbow), I think that is the perfect flop. Since he bet out you can rule out 44 (most people don't bet into a pre-flop raiser when the flop quads). Besides 44 you are only behind AA which also seems very unlikley. I think, in a $5 SNG, you are ahead roughly 97.3% of the time.

Edit: I'm glad I'm the first one to get back to this post. I some how obviosly, and completley, forgot about the possibility of a lone 4. This obviosly means there are alot more hands that beat you, but I don't think they are really anything to worry about in a $5 SNG, you will see A2+ enough to make pushing +EV.

I knew only two hands being ahead of you was a luxury I rarley (never actually) see with TPTK.

Pardon my ignorance (inexperienced player trying to learn), but isn't he also behind A4, or any PP? Or is he not behind these hands because the number of outs he's got?
