$525: Reraising or Folding with ATo?
$525 turbo on Stars. I had never played in a $500 SNG before. I decided to play for two reasons, Zee Justin was playing and since he is
considered to be one of the best I'd like to play against him and watch him in action. Secondly, based on my play, I certainly thought I could compete against these guys if not beat them. Any way the hand in question: Seat 1 1295 BB Seat 2 1135 Seat 3 1875 Seat 4 2060 Seat 5 1050 Seat 6 2765 Seat 8 (Me) 1540 Button Seat 9 1780 SB Blinds are 100/200 and I have the button. Seat 2 is first to act and open pushes to 1135. All fold to me on the button with ATo. I really don't have any good reads. I have never played with anyone before. Play for a turbo seems to be overly tight. What is my best play? Results to follow. Commentary apprciated. Bruce |

Re: $525: Reraising or Folding with ATo?
i would rather push every hand that i was first to act (excluding utg and utg+1 hands, maybe some utg+2) for the rest of the tournament, than call or overpush here.
which seat is z? is it relevant to the hand or has he folded? what is the normal stakes at which you play? c |

This is definitley a fold.
Unless you are playing primarily for fun I would avoid ZeeJustin if I could. I don't think playing in a sng with him would teach you much anyways. |

Z was not involved in this hand.
I normally play $100 and $200 SNG's. Bruce |

Re: $525: Reraising or Folding with ATo?
Why is folding correct? I'm not sure if I necessarily agree
with you. This was a turbo tournament. The blinds were about to increase. Does the villian really need to have a big hand to push with UTG? AT is certainly not a premium hand, even by any stretch of the imagination, but against the range of hands I think he is willing to push with I believe I come out ahead. If I do reraise and push what are the chances of either one of the blinds finding a hand? From my perspective I don't think this is so black and white. As far as avoiding a SNG because of one player, I think that's a bunch of hogwash. He might be a great player, I have no idea and I certainly didn't find out last night, but there still are seven other players besides Zee. Bruce |
