Well guys, easy or not?

I seem to misjudge these situations. Perhaps better to limp?

I am a newbie, only have some 250 sng's played. 100 5+,5 with roi 22%, then 120 10+1 with roi 30%, then 30 20+2 roi -10% [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

i would be inclined to fold. that last dude doesn't have AJ unless he sucks.

also, i would push on my first action.

welcome to the forum.

With the action as it stands, either the other players have no concept of UTG play or they have mid-high pockets or AK and are willing to gamble.

It was a good hand defining raise, but based on the fact you have to beat two players with AQ it is a fold. If you limp it might induce the late position player to merely call the all-in rather then reraise in which case you can play but tread lightly.

I think you are priced in to call, however. If you are dominated so be it. If you're really hurtin' against AA, KK or QQ then oops. But you've put in 1/3rd your stack and are getting over 2.5:1 to call and the blinds will be hitting you next taking about 23% more of your stack.

IMHO you pot committed yourself with that raise.
