So should I lay this down? Or do I have to call because this is a Party sng and there are only so many opportunities to collect chips in the fast structure? What would all you good players do?

Lay Down. No flush draw out there. People aren't going all in with absolutely nothing. Maybe 1 person would have an over pair or top pair, but it is definitely possible the other 9 is in someones hand.

I call very quickly at the $22s. You'll see top pair, a straight draw, random pairs, and random crap way too often to let this go.

If somebody has the case 9 or outdraws me, so be it.

When you check the flop, you should be looking to check/raise. So I wouldn't call that 100, I would pop it to maybe 300. If you do that, you'd have to call an all in.

This is true. Or TT. But I might just call anyway. If someone has 98, then any 9/T/J/Q/K/A is a split.

If you are up against TT, you're screwed. If you're up against AA/KK/QQ/JJ which is very possible, you're ahead and they have 2 outs.

I call. You're only really worried about 9x and TT.

That's good enough for me to get 3:1 on.

I dunno, AA-JJ you can usually expect a raise pre-flop, especially from players in late position, so the only hands I could be up against are 1010, 10x, 9x, and maaaybe somethin like QJ or 78. With just one player going all in, I'm calling for sure, but with a check/raise all in, and an insta-call...I'm leaning toward fold.
