I'm especially interested in how you all would play this given the possibility of finishing 4th.

Thanks!

Since you started the hand with 1335 chips, and had already committed your half your stack at this point with an overpair, I would typically reraise allin. A loose aggressive big stack in a $5 sng might call a raise and reraise the flop with many hands that you are beating at that point. He may easily have two pair, as well at that point, but if so I believe you still have 9 outs to improve (4 jacks, 2 aces, 3 cards of the non-paired flopped card). I'm a noob, though, so I may be off; it seems to me you're fairly pot committed with an overpair that will often win in this situation.

Yer too commited to fold. reraise allin, and you are likely ahead, looking at a J or K. If you were behind, why would he raise you here? Any kind of hand you'd be allin with anyways, plus he has little to worry about with his stack, so I'd take my chances here and likely be happy with the results of the showdown, if not the turn and river.

Avoid the situation you put yourself in and get your chips in when you know that your aces are good - before the flop. I'd put in half my stack preflop, and push just about any flop if I got called, including this one. But of course that's just me...

[Colombo]

I'd push, most likely you are ahead, and a J gives you the straight. Theres always the chance that his raise could just be a bluff. The min-raise seems to be used alot as a bluff, just to keep people honest.

[Benholio]

I would make it 450 pre-flop and autofire on the flop after he calls. At this point, he has 900 chips left and the pot is 900, so he will push or call if he caught any piece of the flop, and possibly even if he didn't. This is an ideal situation for aces, since you will be ahead of him the majority of the time that he flopped something.

I'd feel pot committed in this spot. But, I would raise more before the flop. If you raise 450 you should probably realize that you are pushing no matter what the flop is. This is a time when since your raise will automatically have you pot committed, should you just move in preflop? I say no as you want action, but that means you must understand you are going all in only in two rounds instead of one.

easy push...you have way to much equity.

Very easy push.

Its interesting you say that, beacuse at the lower levels of ub it seems to me that a min-raise of a material raise (ie not min raise of a small joke bet) nearly always means big hand, especially if its on the turn.
