KJs gets re-raised (SNG rookie)

maryfield48 · #1 07-27-2005, 04:04 PM

I'm taking a break from limit ring games, and intend to play a bit more SNGs. I had this hand the other night in a $10 Stars SNG:

Lvl IV - 50/100
Hero is UTG 1845 chips, picks up <font color="red">K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]</font>
Seat 5 1195
Seat 6 4290
Btn 1200
SB 1935
BB 2885

I raise to 300, 2 folds, button pushes, 2 folds.

Button has 25%VPIP, 12.5% PFR. Hasn't shown down junk. He earlier called a big all-in over the top of his minraise and flipped KQo. Do I call this getting almost 2:1?

Fold PF,

KJs utg 5-6 handed is junk.

i fold (i never woulda bet 300 with kjs tho...woulda folded pf)

u still have 15BBs and it's not worth going down to 645 chips on a coinflip here...and since he still has 12BBs, he's not desperate, so he prolly has a good hand

not worth it IMO

next time just fold pf and avoid this...but once u are here, fold now

Definitely fold this, you're going to get yourself in a bad situation more often than not.

Fold preflop.

Fold preflop. Failing that, fold after the push.

I don't get it. Is this implying KQo is strong? I think you need to read up on the difference in hand selection in SNG vs. ring, because they're wholly different.

I fold preflop instead of raising and I muck to this re-raise

I guess the juxtaposition with the previous sentence was unfortunate. No I didn't intend to imply that KQo is strong - just the opposite, especially in the context. I thought it was a bad call is why I mentioned it.
