Seemed like a given to me, and SNGPT agrees unless you think villain is uber tight. Villain wasn't happy.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (3 handed) converter (http://www.pushfold.com/converter/hhconverter.cgi)

SB (t1253)
Hero (t2950)
Button (t9297)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t1203</font>, Hero calls t603.

Flop: (t1906) K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/club.gif, 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t1906) 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t1906) 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t1906

Results below:
SB has A/images/graemlins/heart.gif 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (two pair, fives and threes).
Hero has 5/images/graemlins/club.gif 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif (full house, fives full of threes).
Outcome: Hero wins t1906.

Winning these and pissing off the other guy are the best feeling I get in SNG's.

I don't do it strictly to piss off the other guy, but one of the big advantages of playing SNGs is the opportunity to go maniac (since it's the correct play in the end game) and to be able to be the "suckouter" occassionally while not actually playing badly. Way more fun than playing TAG in a ring game.

Yeah, there's no realistic range that would make this wrong to call. And yes, these hands are what make me enjoy SNGs.
