$12 turbo, 35 on 345 flop in blinds

[roggles]

I am not a great hold 'em player (never play it cash game), but I have managed to win on playing sngs. I don't normally post here, but here is a hand early in a $12 sng that I felt a little unsure about. I choose to put in a large reraise on the flop because I don't want him to draw to an open-ended or a flush. Then I call because I figure I am ahead of an average player's range. What do you think about it?

Bump. Is this post that uninteresting?

its fine...sometimes ahead sometimes behind but in a turbo I call here...having chips makes later play a lot easier

This is awful. Making later play a lot easier has nothing to do with it, you're just trying to survive to high blind play right now.

I call the min-raise on flop, he's probably blocking with a flush or straight draw then reevaluate on turn. If he min-bets here, he'll probably underbet turn if he happens to hit his draw, and you might get a cheap look at a FH and get it to the felt if you had hit - I'm in no hurry to get all my money in on that flop.

If this hand came up in the 50/100 blind zone then I like the play. Since its so earlier its really if you feel like you want to take a shot now or sit around and wait for a spot that you feel more comfortable in

Wow the advice in this thread is terrible. Get it in now. At this level you'll see a million draws, top pair, and overpairs. Lots of these hands won't give you action on a lot of turn cards.

I get all in here every day of the week. It's a freaking 35 minute game. Flopping 2 pair against one opponent is HUGE right here. Yes there are some draws out there, but you would be surprised at how often they flip over a huge pair (AA, KK, QQ...cause the donks just love to slow play those out of the blinds when folded around) or even A5 here. If dude flopped a straight, that's just bad luck, nothing you can do about it. I insta-call with a fist pump.

While I don't like going out of a tourney this early in the blind levels, this hand is just too big to not get it in. one pair = easy laydown, two pair here = I get all in the chips in fast.
