$20 SNG on Empire
Stacks are:
2272 Hero in SB
2101 BB
1546 Button
2081 Cutoff
Blinds are 150 - 300
It's folded to me in the small blind. I have pocket 10's and push all-in. The BB called with A-K and flopped an ace and I left shortly thereafter in 4th.
Was the push wrong? Should I have made a smaller raise like $900 (3xBB) and then gotten away from the hand if overcards flopped and the BB bet the flop?
Another $20 SNG.
5 players left.
Stacks are:
1215 Hero in SB
1755 BB
2145 UTG
1280 Cutoff
1605 Button
Blinds are 50 - 100
It's folded to me in the small blind. I limp in with K -K. The BB has been aggressive and I'm hoping for a raise. The BB raises to 425; I push all-in. The BB calls with A-9. An ace comes on the flop and I exit in 5th.
Was the push correct? Would it have been better to call the preflop raise and then push if there was no ace on the flop?
