1. Don't limp preflop. Being UTG makes limping worse, not better.

2. I guess you can call, but he's betting 15 into a 105 pot. Consider raising. Your overcard outs are quite dirty.

3. Raise is a bit small given potsize and how many people are still in it.

4. I dunno. I can't see anybody you beat calling you, but SB and CO have played this hand quite absurdly themselves, so who knows? When in doubt, bet.

I'm pretty sure I disagree with a lot of this, while at the same time recognizing that there are places I should have played this hand differently.

1 - Explain how being UTG makes raising better? I was always under the impression that although we don't always have an option, building a big pot in position is always going to be better than doing the same out of position.

2- I really don't like raising this flop having shown no aggression preflop. I'm pretty sure I don't fold any better hands, and I'm not sure what better hands I'm getting value from.

3- I agree [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

4-I think I disagree with "when in doubt, bet" just generally. I think that in these low limit SNGs, river bluffs in 3-way pots is a talent we just dont need.

1. Raising means fewer people to play against. I'd much rather be OOP 3-handed in a t150 pot than OOP with a trillion people behind me in a t100 pot.
2. Getting worse hands to fold on the flop is not the end of the world. You have ace high, let's not get too tricky about extracting value. And you will get small pocket pairs to fold on that board.
3.
4. At that point we aren't bluffing, we have TPTK on a reasonably scary board. Check-calling is reasonable, but this early in a 22 you can take advantage of the uberdonks. Based on the completely inexplicable way SB and CO have played, one or both of them may have no idea what is going on.
