Both villains are unknowns. No reads except that the shortie lost most of his stack in an early coinflip.

How about this read - the guy has 700 chips and puts 220 of them in preflop by cold calling OOP lol_moranaments.

yeah not worried about that guy, but rather what's UTG kept overcalling with. that's what I could not get my head around.

KQ? AQ? diamond draw?

there is no way i fold here. ship it in and hope you dodge the 8 outs to triple up.

I snap call. If I am behind or get outdrawn, so be it. This push is still a very +EV move. BB can literally have as little as bottom pair or a gutshot. UTG looks most likely to be a draw, but could be top pair as well. I would put him on a hand like KQ (limp early position, just call your raise etc). Even if UTG has flopped two pair or something, you have 5 outs on the flop and 8 on the turn.

right - but remember that this is against 2 opponents. so it is likely to be more like 14-18 outs for them combined.

I'd be glad to take down the 150 chips right there, and don't want to see more than one opponent.

I am never "glad" about taking down 150 chips preflop with AA in any SNG, let alone a turbo. I'd rather have callers and get stacked sometimes. Or lots of times, lately.

no. and even if bb does win and you win against utg, you still make 500 chips and you knock out 1 player.

Seriously, if you're folding in spots like this, you're giving up massive equity.
