Hero???

Depends on the buy in, I call at the $11s and think about it at the $22s...then call.

Why bet 150 into a pot of 90?

I'd probably lean towards folding. When you have six random hands seeing a flop there is a pretty good chance someone hits two pair. If it's a donk I'll call.

party poker 10+1

The buy in was part of my problem.... at this level, what's his range for pushing?

Since so many people saw the flop, and it's a 10+1, I wasn't sure a pot bet would get rid of the draws....

I assume you are suggesting a smaller raise preflop. If I raise to t75, how does this affect calling the all-in. (I'm still a bit new the SnG's, and I have about 75 leaks I'm trying to plug all at once....hell, there not leaks; water's comin' in over the sides)

Why did you bet 150 into a 90 chip pot? That's no good as it has really muddied the situation imo. Your opponent can no longer raise without committing almost half of his stack, so his push all-in could mean many different things, some of which are slightly favourable, others of which are pretty horrible.

I'd probably fold, depends on the buyin I guess. I just dont like committing all my chips so early on a single pair when I havent even had the slightest chance to evaluate my opponents hand.

Edit: a $10 huh! Oooh I dunno now. Bah, I wouldnt have committed so many chips to it in the first place (in an unraised pot) so I think I'd kick myself for doing that first and fold. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

What purpose does raising to 50 serve?
