($22) I feel I made the right play

NLHE and especially SNGs aren't all about whether a hand is probably good or not. Out of position, you also require the ability to play the hand strongly.

I think there's a pretty good chance - perhaps better than even - that your hand is currently best. I also think the correct action is to fold. Your understanding of deep stack NL is incomplete if you think these ideas are contradictory.

Excellent analysis. It's a very important concept, one that has dramatically improved my SNG game.

If you don't have a logical plan of how to play the hand after your initial action you'll find yourself losing a lot of money in the long run. You absolutely call for 5 chips preflop, but you need better than this to continue.
