Putting a player on a hand pre-flop
 

I have been playing for about 6 months and lately have been cashing about 65% of the time in $2-$5 sng tourneys. Have also won a couple large multi table tourneys. My question Preflop, how can you put a person on a hand when almost everybody raises 3 times the BB. Not so much for entering the hand but for play like on turn and river. For example, lets say it is early in SNG and you have no info on the players yet.

The UTG player raises 3 times the BB
You are in late position with QQ and call the raise
Everyone else folds
Flop comes 7 4 J all different suits
UTG bets 1/2 pot, representing an overpair or 2 high cards like AK you call
Turn comes Ace and UNG bets 1/2 pot again.

How can you tell if you are beat? I guess instead of just calling pre-flop or after the flop you could reraise but if you are beat you just lost more chips and if the player is not playing correctly he may call you anyway.

Any advice?

Use PAHUD stats to help determine opponents hand ranges.

the question is to big, its like asking "how do i play poker?"

with overpair or tptk in general u wanna protect your hand against hands that hit smaller and can outdraw you and calling bets is not the way.

play and post specific hands here and you will get helped, eventuallt figuring it all out. gl

I understand that it is a vague question, that is kind of my point. If you have no info on the player what would be the best route. Would it be a good idea to keep calling to see the hand to the end to get info on him and what he bets? Is it worth risking the chips?

No, that would be stupid... no offense.

Theres no value in gaining information from someone you'll probably never see in another SnG

Guys,

I've also been wondering how to hand read. Maybe if someone could sum it up in a couple of sentences...
