This was a $22, no specific reads. I've been playing around with how much I raise PF in these situations (too many limpers in lvl3), this was a lot more than my standard raise in this spot.

IF you are going to make a standard raise preflop, t300 is the right thing, in that case, I just shove here with all those limpers in lieu of a raise.

That said, you need to call this all in and expect to see AQ, AK or a low pocket pair.

with ~t450 in the pot it is impossible to fold. You're probably a dog to a pair, but you have odds to call this.
Occassionally you will see AA/KK here, but I don't think it is often enough to make this a fold.

Make the call.

Push PF. If everyone folds, you increase your stack about 20%, and of the times you're called (even factoring in the occassional trap with AA/KK), you're still a good favorite with an overlay. Raising less and getting called with your stack size just makes things difficult postflop.

Is there an arguement for a check here? A raise will likely get it HU but could also lead to a multiway pot.

Either way, were whiffing 2/3s and playing OOP. Is this enough to justify playing passively?

After the reraise I think hero should call for reasons stated above.

I think fold. I think the call was just waiting for the raise. It's prime time to be making a move I put him on at least QQ. Maybe I'm just over estimating the players at party 22. I still think it's best to be the one pushing instead of calling a push.

I either raise a little less, or shove em all-in preflop. Regardless, you have to call this all-in.

EDIT--Wait, you're in the BB. You have two options, IMO. All-in, or check. Raising a proper amount here without pushing puts you in a horrible spot postflop. Out of position with a pot size ~ the size of your stack with AK.

[Karak567]

Folding to this push is so bad it makes me want to puke.

You HAVE to call.

But I would have just pushed preflop right away.

[lacky]

you realize there is about 1160 in the pot, and it is costing you about 550 to call? If you fold AK, or any other premium hand here you will never do well at sng's. HUGE leak.
