UTG raises t95, UTG+1 folds, Hero raises t760 (All-in), MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls t665

How do you play this situation here? A reraise less than all in will commit me to the pot anyways, and I really dont want to call with my position. Is it to weak to fold here?

I'll answer your question with a question.

In a sit-n-go, where does your edge(s) come from? If you name more than one, rate them in order.

FE late in tourny.

Better hand selection early.

Theres more, but these are the basics I think your getting at.

I assume you are advocating a fold?

I am advocating neither fold, call, or push. I am just helping you think about the things that are important when considering the question you posed.

What's wrong with calling here? You have position on the raiser. I realize that it sucks if anyone re-raises, but I'd rather fold than push here. I can't see anything you're beating calling your push, except the occasional AQ.

In my experience at the 22's if I call here I most likey will no be haeads up and will have to play out of position.

I think ur sample size is small. There are many things to think about with this hand, perhaps one of the more important ones is, will you get paid off if you hit TPTK when you are ahead?

I have played just over 1k of 22's and I say their is another caller a majority of the time.

About getting paid off I dont know. If he has kings will he fold on an ace flop? I my experience it can go both ways so I'm not quite sure what your getting at.

I'm not too concerned about position here, since I have it on the raiser, and am probably pushing any A/K-high flop regardless. The multiple opponent thing is admittedly a concern, but I'd rather take the chance of a dominated hand tagging along and then having a flop hit us both than hope UTG doesn't call and have us beat or crushed.
