109s AK vs tighty and loosy
 

SB was pretty tight from the 60 or so hands I had on him. BB would play any 2 cards from any position. If SB just pushes it's a fairly easy call but these crappy reraises always give me trouble.

I'm seeing a flop and going broke if I improve. I have position and I'm closing action getting 4-1. Also, I can fold post flop and still be healthy enough to have some FE.

I'd call and re-evaluate on the flop.

Is SB tight enough such that you can narrow his hands down to AA/KK, or can his stack-committing tiny re-raise mean QQ/JJ/AK as well? I think if it's a good tight SNG player, you should fold AK preflop here.

If BBs a maniac then you have a real nice overlay. Shove.

I think calling here is pretty awful. More than 25% of your stack to see a flop?

If SB is rational he's not putting &gt;1/3 of his chips in with anything but QQ+ (and maybe KK+), so I would fold this.

I hate calling here and I think I fold before pushing. Given your read of the SB, I think you are a coinflip at best. Yes, you have good overlay if he does have an underpair, but it is also probable he has you crushed with KK/AA.

Well, of course fold if your read is KK+. But if he's just some random dude I'd expect TT+ AQ+ even if he has been tight so far, because it's L3 and you are raising from MP2.

Given these preflop odds, there's no way a fold can be right.
