Big decision early

[pdxjayhawk]

20+2 SNG. Too early for any reads. Understand I hated the pre-flop call the second I made it. Question is, now that we've put ourselves in this spot, where to go from here?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Button (t785)

UTG (t775)
UTG+1 (t835)
UTG+2 (t680)

Hero?

Calls. You're behind exactly 1 hand that he could have raised with UTG, and you've got any of the others (AK, QQ, JJ, TT) crushed at this point. And if he raised UTG with 8-9, you'll lose all your money.

Quickly calls, but at the same time, if you call preflop, you really should check to the preflop raiser and let him bet so you can shove it.

Something feels off about this all in, an under the gun raiser isn't likely to raise with 56,67, or 89, so i would have to think your hand is good at the moment. Could be a pure bluff, he could have a smaller overpair, possibly 88 which gives him an open ended, and would guess that he is probably overplaying his hand, not betting with better cards than yours.

Dang, too long to type it, and now i just look silly saying the same as above.

Let's go back one step, if no one minds.

I should have re-raised this pre-flop? Yes?

If so, how much? Twice villian's raise? Shove em?

I'd say push preflop and hope UTG didn't raise with AA.
