Is this a good play? I'm a little bitter cuz I lost, but is this smart SNG poker?

I hate limpers, especially when they are the big stack, i don't know how to deal with them... with that said, good push-- but my ROI is <20%

I don't think it's bad. That said, I'm not sure if it's good either. Depends on how much UTG limp.

Really need a read to make a good decision. With no reads, at least knowing the buyin would be good.

thanks for the input, I think it was the right move.

Given the situation, and the current blind strucutre, and your stack, this would seem like a good play.

One thing to consider is your opponents stack. Any reads on UTG?

Not a good push. Level 3 with more than 10BB is too early for this kind of move. Wait for a better opportunity when there is more $$$ in the pot.

There is $125 in the pot with nobody showing any aggression. SB and BB will probably fold unless they wake up with something big. UTG is a little worrisome with a big stack but he didn't raise here so he is likely to have a mediocre hand that he wants to see a flop with. You are the short stack here so why not just push and try to take the money without a fight.

While I tend to agree here, it depends on how UTG got his stack. Is he a loose caller/player? So I continue to ask first, any reads here?

He went all in on 1st hand on river with a 5's full o 10's. I went back to look and he saw 20 of 26 flops. Gee, I wonder if he will call? But isn't that what I want?
