was it ok to lead at this pot? I felt at the time that the texture was pretty good but i got a bad reaction hehe..

Fold preflop

[FishHooks]

I dont think folding preflop in the SB is good at all here like the other guys said. I like your flop bet, a little more than the pot putts pressure on the short stacks, since they are short stacks they are also almost all-in if they get top pair, the guy that raised all-in might be ahead of you but with those odds you have to call him. However with betting 400 you better be prepaird to call when they go all in so I think its a no brainer.

why would i fold pf with KJ in the BB getting 7-1?

[kgrad5]

i was prepared to call an all in there, but what threw me off was the 2nd all in.. he saw the first guy go all in and still chose to call him, which leads me to believe im not good a majority of the time.. is it still a no brainer?

[FishHooks]

I think you have to call, plus most people at these lower limit SNG's aren't that great of players, those odds are just too good to throw awa.

Sorry, I read the hand wrong, thought you were the one who had limped UTG. I don't think I would bet out at this flop, UTG limps can often be hidden monsters, it's best to see what the others do first.

It depends on your read of UTG. Has he been tight or a loose donk? Why would he limp for 1/5th his stack from UTG knowing there's a big possibility of being raised? Is this the first time he's limped at this level, or the level before, etc? I am not bothered about calling the BB's push, but the UTG one I think I am behind here. I would check this flop to be honest or bet 2/3rd of it, 400 seems a bit too much.

[kgrad5]

UTG was ok, he was semi tight, would limp in once in a while and when he hit his hand he would insta push every time.. hadnt seen him do anything sneaky up to this point but i guess that doesnt mean he is incapable of it.

[tigerite]

But has he been limping at the 50/100 and 75/150 level even though it is a big chunk of his stack? That's the key, rather than limping for 50 when he has 600 odd, for instance (even though this also is not a good play, it's less so than the former)
