SnG blinds are at level 3, stack sizes are close to starting stack sizes, you are in mid position, early position quickly raises to x5 BB indicating a high pair (eg QQ), you call in mid position with AdKd everyone else folds. Flop is x, diamond, diamond - all low cards. Villain bets just over half the pot.

What is your next move?

is this a joke?

push.

guy would have to show me a set or AA b4 i fold AK with flush draw.

Why does a 5xBB raise indicate a high pair? In my experience the opposite is true at SNGs. I'd push preflop in this situation.

[ihaveAdream]

Push for sure! Most of the time both of your over cards are live and you're in great shape.

So say it's level 3 and blinds are 50/100. Raise is ~t500. Your stack is ~t1800. Calling would leave you with t1300 in a pot of ~t1150. Calling PF is bad, right?

Buy-in? Players left (all?)?

[bwadbwoy]

Okay, so I know he is going to call a push with his overpair as I did not reraise pf. Should I always accept these situtions where I am a little more than 50/50 to win?

[bwadbwoy]

$30 buyin, stacks are t1500, BB is 100, full table.

[alvaroaze]

so he raised to t500, 1/3 of his stack, and you called? just push preflop, calling is insane! And if you are crazy enough to call, now there is t1000 in the pot and you have t1000 left with AK + flush draw, how can you fold this??

[bwadbwoy]

At what level of blinds would you ever flat call with AKs? Would you always raise and subsequently always call a push from original raiser?

[Urbatect]

There is a good chance he has aq or ak too. Its a typical situation when almost worst case scenario is a coin flip, and you are sometimes in a dominating position.
