Facing this situation a bit recently and need help. Low limit SNGs ($11 or $22) and I'm in the money, but it's been a donkfest so we're ITM at level $75/$150. Chip stacks below.
Obviously the limits are low so there's very little pushing at this stage, but I'm so used to being down to 3 players at level $300/$600 and it being a crapshoot.
Example:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (3 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
Hero (t3520)
SB (t2802)
BB (t7178)
Preflop: Hero is Button with A/images/graemlins/club.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t600</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t1200</font>, Hero calls t600.
Flop: (t2475) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t2250</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2320</font>, BB calls t70.
Turn: (t7115) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
River: (t7115) Q/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Final Pot: t7115
I know for a fact that I played this poorly. I didn't know what to do with the reraise. If I fold to the reraise I'm equal about to the shortstack, and for some reason that wasn't acceptable to me.
I also put this guy on AK, AQ, KQ.
What's my line after the PF reraise? Was I correct to raise in the first place?
