Default 5400fpp sat to sm

do i need to call this? all players have been pretty tight so far, with the exception of semi-loose utg big stack. sb has open folded to me twice previous.


PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 with t25 antes (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t5755)
CO (t2832)
Button (t1073)
SB (t3975)
Hero (t1365)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t400</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to t3950 (All-in)</font>, hero?

I'd really fold this, button has a shorter stack than you and will hit the blinds again first (when is the next level?) and you may find UTG open push a hand and another stack call and bust out.. if you fold this you basically have one round to pick up anotehr hand + the blinds or pray someone gets knocked out.

I'd probably fold and pray the villians are stupid, especially the button who may feel desperate.

I'd fold.

With any luck UTG and SB will do battle. Plus you still have a bigger stack than button. And if you fold, you should still have FE in future hands. Your only goal is to get ITM.

Also....you might want to mention to people that all top 4 spots pay $215 as that will probably impact their answers for you.

u need QQ to call, or probably KK. if everyone folded to SB and he shoved 100% u could only call with 99+ just to giv eyou an idea of how terrible this is. somewhere around -$75 in equity

I do not play SNG's anymore, and even I know this is an easy FOLD for the reasons already mentioned.
