no, always leave results out until after the hand is discussed, and then only if people think it's relevant. poker and especially SNGs, are all about ranges, and you dont want to influence people's responses.

for the hand itself, i like a fold to the SBs push to let the initial raiser take him out.

THanks for the advice..

There was no initial raise though...just a limp

Fold pre-flop. UTG is priced in and you are not a big favorite in any situation if you're even in the lead.

yea, i re-read and my basic advice still holds. utg should call and there's no need to dance right now.

UTG had AJ and I just felt I was winning. SB had 10 10. I definitely should have folded pre-flop looking back over the hand. THanks for the help. However, I feel I had a good read that I was leading against the UTG, unaware, I was dominated by SB.

Thanks for the help! Can't finish OTM like that no more.
