2.20$ SAT - First Hand 1010, unusual action

[StefanBD]

First hand of the SNG, thus no read, except that 60% (++) of the players are generally really bad in those. obviously. I just limped because didn't feel like raising to 160ish and still getting 3-4 players on flop was any good, just playing for set value really. Do I just muck and wait for a better spot?

if youre just playing for set value like you said, really hard to call here. so i fold

[EscapePlan9]

With the raiser and two callers, I am not folding tens last to act.

[SuperUberBob]

I'm raising big preflop here. I hate calling then folding to a big raise behind me.

With all the limpers in front, I might even try making a squeeze by jamming preflop. You'd be amazed what hands will call you.

[MJBuddy]

How is anyone folding this?

If you're playing for set value, you're getting amazing odds still.

[StefanBD]

Just saying, I was playing for set value when it first came to me. Not saying that I'd always be playing TT for set value, neither was I when it came back after raise and 2 calls.

So pushing after the raise/2xcalls is an option if I get that? Or you were saying you raised the limpers, not when it came back?

[SuperUberBob]

After the preflop raise behind you, you can't jam all-in. Once you've limped and have two callers in front, you have to call as well. I'm saying when you act after all the limpers but before the raise; jamming isn't an awful idea.

[mayesie]

With only (2) players left to act after you, I take my chances and call. There's a good chance you have the best hand, so you're not necessarily playing for set value. Your position will minimize the chances of making a mistake, after the flop.

Call, take a flop, watch the action, then decide what to do.
