i'm pretty new to this sng stuff and this hand left me puzzled...

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter

MP1 (t2760)
MP2 (t1420)
CO (t2050)
Button (t1430)
SB (t1770)
BB (t1460)
UTG (t1090)
Hero (t1520)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero raises to t90, 1 fold, MP2 calls t90, 1 fold, Button calls t90, 2 folds.

Flop: (t315) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets t330, MP2 calls t330, Button raises to t1340, Hero ???

the flop looked save. so i figured the most likely cards he could have are an overpair or a set...
should i fold and wait for a better chance to get some chips or should i go for it?

I put my chips in every time. If your are beat start another tourney.

At the 11s, instacall. I can't get my chips in fast enough. If he's got a set, move on to the next tourny. But most of the time MP2 will have a flush draw and Button will have something like TT.

I insta call. I also like to play the $6.50 turbos at Stars so you might want to give those a try. The $5.50 take sooo long to finish. Anyway the play here is so horrendus I call right away. They could have anything.

thanks guys. looks like i made the right decision.
i just wasn't sure, because it's so early in the sng and i might as well be far behind in this hand.

In,in,in, unless you know the other guy is any good.

You'll more likely see rubbish like Q8s here than 2 pair or a set.
