Sometimes SNGs aren\'t poker: Open-Folding QQ 3-Handed?
 

This is a Stars 6-handed $119 turbo. 2 places paid.

The BB has been sitting out the entire SNG. Each time I have raised on the button since it's been 3 handed, the SB (having me covered) has moved allin. He knows I can fold into the money & probably assumes that I will fold everything.

After posting the BB has 130 behind and is still sitting out like he has been the whole way.

allin, qq is too strong.

QQ is good enough to push it, If SB is such a [censored] that he will call with any two, let him. I personally would never fold in this spot.

fold; QQ is strong but the 300 in blinds do NOT increase your equity enough to risk going from 40% (is that 2nd place payout?) to 0% of the prize pool

Im not folding QQ here. I raise and hope he comes over the top, if he does I call.

Re: Sometimes SNGs aren\'t poker: Open-Folding QQ 3-Handed?
 

Does this mean that you want to get it in here or are you hoping that the equity of your QQ plus fold equity makes allin your play?

The reason I ask is b/c if Hero makes it 600, BB will push almost any 2 (I assume) and Hero can call that. This is not to say that I am advocating this play

Well if SB is smart he folds and keeps shorty there and keeps pushing any two into your big blind. It's a unique situation but he can drain you dry if you keep folding on the button. Push the queens if SB has any clue how to take advantage of his position.

this won't work...bb only has 130 chips, so next round he's out...so he can't fold and keep pushing into you...he has to fold/call based on ev of that hand (and knowing he can push the next 2 hands)
