Default Re: weekly SNG: 3 players left, pocket 77 on the button.

Considering your reads you should call at this point, however you got your self into this mess by not just raising all-in. Considering SB, and BB have both re-raised your raises in past...they probably feel that they can do it again with a more than likely chance you will fold. Take the pressure off yourself next time and push all-in. By pushing all in you give yourself fold equity, in other words the 450 you will get for free probably 8/10 times when you dont get a call. By raising, and then calling some elses re-raise you lose the fold equity which in the long run amounts to allot. Just do the math, if were in this situation 10 times....and you pushed all 10 times, then you will get 450 8 times for free which equals 450*8=3600. the other 2 times you will get called and prob be doing a 50/50. but if you are just going to raise and then be willing to call a re-raise all in you will find yourself doig this 50/50 all 10/10 times. hope this makes sense
