I made a mistake earlier today that probably cost me a place in the money. Early in the SNG I was in the big blind with 88, it was raised T100 to me and I decided to fold. As you can see from the hand history below I would have tripled up had I made the call. Of course one shouldn't be results oriented, but looking back I can't help thinking this should be an easy call - not sure what made me decide to fold /images/graemlins/smile.gif
How big a raise should I be willing to call here? What if I had been on the button?
