Let it go or go all in

[Yeknom58]

30 SNG at paradise

Blinds 150-300
5 left. Pretty even stacks ranging 1700-3200. I have around 2300.

I'm MP with A-9s, folded to me and I open for a raise of 900, I'm hoping to steal here but if I get called I don't feel too bad. The button who is big stacked calls. Everyone else folds.

Flop: 6c, 7d, 8s.

What do you do?


I went all in because I wanted this pot and if he calls I figure I've got some outs. Well he called and flipped up 9-10o so basically I was dead. I got busted. I figured this flop probably missed him and I didn't want to give him a chance to catch. So if I check or bet small and he comes back at me I was planning on calling so I figured I might as well go all in to put the pressure on him.

From what I remember about Paradise SNGs is that their blinds go up very quickly.

Because of this I agree with the allin. If you fold you will be down to 1400. And quickly having blinds snag a large fraction of your stack.

And while I don't LIKE making this preflop raise. I think you have to take a stab at the steal.
