Hey guys-

10 handed SnG winner take all sat to Party 1m.

Level 1, blinds 10/15

cold caller T1195
SB T1000

no reads

two folds, I raise with red JJ to T65 (should I be making this more? perhaps T100ish?)

one fold, a cold call and Sb re-raises T235

Ill get to potential postflop questions after.

I moved this from MTT to OTT, you will get more help with it here.

Don't really know how these play, but I'd muck it.

Hey Sublime, I don't really play SNGs too much anymore but here are my thoughts:

I think his range is usually JJ-AA (19 combos) or AK (16 combos). However, with the cold-caller in there, AK will often call rather than reraise. This reraise looks a lot like JJ-AA. This could be off, but I'd say that it is QQ-AA twice as often as it is AK (or some random hand). Thus I'd make the JJ-AA 38 combos and the AK 16. When he has AK you won't likely make much money from him postflop. When he has QQ-AA you will often get stacked. You need to call 170 to win 360 assuming cold caller folds. This is about 2:1 which, using my assumptions above, would be enough if you were allin preflop (especially if you expect the coldcaller to call as well). However, due to the postflop problems (reverse implied odds), you should fold.
