Crazy call early on
 

Euro $30 sng

When i first made this call i thought it was a good one. I figured the guy was a donk who was pushing his draw or had a weak top pair. I figured if he had a big hand he would have played it much slower. This is just from my experiences at this level.

Was this a crazy call?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter

CO (t1020)
Button (t790)
SB (t785)
BB (t800)
Hero (t800)
UTG+1 (t800)
UTG+2 (t800)
MP1 (t800)
MP2 (t800)
MP3 (t605)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero calls t15, UTG+1 calls t15, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls t15, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t72.50) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>


SB checks, BB bets 30, Hero raises 90, UTG is all in, hero calls

Turn: (t72.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>

River: (t72.50) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>

Final Pot: t72.50

I usually loose to a set (If I spike the A) or 2p at the 22s (don't spike the A) or to the flush (like you) if I make that call.

However, at that limit the call is probably correct. You'll win a close majority of the time.

Anyone else have any opinions on this?

Re: Crazy call early on
 

What really happened after Hero bet t90? Who moved in over the top after you raised?

Re: Crazy call early on
 

the convertor is correct i think. I am unsure what happened as i cannot find the actual hh for the hand.

Basically the person who raised all in was the UTG, after he bet small intially and i then raised him to t90.

In my experience this all in overbet screams weakness and i just wanted other peoples opinions on this.

Re: Crazy call early on
 

You're UTG...

And the all-in bet doesn't exactly scream strength, you're right.

according to the post, YOU are UTG

BTW, I hate hand converters. That is all.

Re: Crazy call early on
 

It could scream SET scared of being beat by a flush. These guys will do anything to protect a made hand

Re: Crazy call early on
 

Grr yeah i hate the convertor when it does not work

anyway someone bet, i raised it to t90 and then someone behind me went all in.

wished i had the hh.

I was just wondering if this was a logical call or if i was crazy for even considering it.

Since I really don't know what happened in the hand and you are asking for any opinions, here's my simple advice:

Fold AQo UTG during level one of an SNG.
