This is from Stars' new Turbo $15+1 NL SNG. I believe that's the first hand to be posted here from this format, so that's a bit of an event.

OK.

We're last 5, I'm 4th w/1900, and there's one tiny stack (205). The prize structure is 50/30/20, as usual. Blinds are 75/150.

It's folded to me on the SB with AA. BB is with 2670. A pretty loose caller. He'll call a PF raise with many hands here. Not so aggressive, tho.

What's my best move, and plan for post-flop play?

Raise 3BB, hope he calls then push on the flop.

I agree with Tyler, especially given your description of the BB as someone who will call most raises but is not too aggressive.

However, with a stack size about 10 times the big blind, AA, KK, QQ are the only hands with which I'm raising 3 times the blind. Other than that, when I raise I'm moving all in. I'm worried that this gives away too much information, but I don't see any way around it.
