Hadn't caught villain stealing.
We are just past the bubble in an SnG.

I think I needed to raise it higher PF (LOL limit player trying to play NL [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]!!)

Can I call the flop?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (3 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

<font color="#C00000">Hero (t4995)</font>
Button (t2035)
<font color="#C00000">SB (t6470)</font>

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t300</font>, SB calls t150.

Yeah [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Raise it up to at least 450-500.

Villian's huge overbet on the flop doesn't really shows strength so I would call here. Especially because he might think you are scared of busting in 3rd.
With TPTK+NFD this is a snap-call for me.

400 pf for pot control, super easy call on the flop.

Playing this as a percentage, this is a definite call. Winning this showdown means that winning the SNG becomes a cakewalk. The payout structure for an SNG rewards people who play to win them - in the long run if you get opportunities like this and take them then I think you will make more money than you lose.

This push is so strange from the villain, it might be anything from 7 5 to someone with two pair trying to protect it on a draw heavy board. I am interested to know what he turned over (if you called in this situation).
