usually folding is the most prudent move. I can see a call vs some opponents.

i fold preflop.

i call the flop bet, both due to the gutshot and lack of a big card on the flop. you are ahead of his range at this point in the hand.

Fold PF? Don't we have to call for set value?

I fold it preflop as well. There is no guaranty you will even get to see the flop with so many others acting behind you.

The whole point is that we have to fold to a reraise and are in EP so we aren't guaranteed to see a flop. If there is another caller between us, I call behind. If the table is beyond passive, then I guess its ok.

I fold PF for the reason already cited, ie that we are not sure that our 90 call will actually allow us to see the flop. If we were the BB and were closing the action, then I would agree calling a 3X raise is appropriate with a low pair. Here, we don't have that luxury.

Preflop: YOU MUST FOLD! Early in a SNG you should be playing very tight. Calling in a late position with a small pocket pair after a caller or two is a great situation, or if you were in the small blind in this hand it would also be good. But with five active players behind you, any of whom could raise and force you out you lose your t90. And even if you do get to see a flop you will be folding almost all but those you flop a set in when villain bets out.

Flop: Villain could have a lot of hands here if he is a loose player, but you don't really know for sure. This looks just like a continuation bet after a missed high card hand. It could certainly be an overpair, but it's less likely. Be aggressive here and make the high-card hands fold. RAISE TO t350. If you get called and don't improve check the rest of the way, or fold to any bet. If he calls and you do improve bet for value against his most-likely overpair. But most of the time he will fold to your flop raise.

This is one of those weird situations where you should keep playing a small pair after the flop even tho you missed your set.
