help me......new to these sort of tournament decisions

[Victor]

party poker 10+1 sng.

300/600
Total number of players : 5

Seat 2: EP1 (1600)
Seat 4: EP2 (990)
Seat 6: HERO (1430)
Seat 7: SB (2170)
Seat 10: BB (1810)

I am hero and am the dealer.

EP2 calls.
and I look down at 10s10h. I raise.

Is this correct or should I be very tight here and try to crawl into 3rd place as both EP players are facing the blind soon.

comments are greatly appreciated

How much are you thinking about raising?

Myself, I would go all-in in this spot if not one has opened. To a raise you have too either push or fold.

I believe that trying to limp into the money is a losing thought and would only agree with that thought if your bankroll was in some real trouble.

No, the real money in SnG's comes from winning, and you are not certain to sneak into the money at this point. If this is limit I like the raise, if it is no limit all in is the only option.

In my opinion, push. The others may well be playing tight to make the money (depends on your read of the players). You have a hand and are most likely ahead at this stage, make them make the decision. A raise of 600 is too big a % of your stack so it must be all-in, any less would be a sign of weakness.

I'd push, great position for it and a decent hand at that stage.
