[Closed] $1 99 : Was it right to go All-In?

definitely fold this early in an SNG, follow the "how to play before the flop" article

only go all in here with QQ+ imo

Call only for set value. In this case easy fold. I wouldnt even call first raise. It's to big to play profitable.

Thanks for the replies, I can see I still need to re-read those articles and stick to them. Sometimes I just gamble a bit, thinking I might get lucky. Need to stop with that habit.

Hi, this early you should play 99 either for set value (limping or calling a small raise) or you can raise it first in from late position, so after a raise and a 3bet you should fold.

M is a concept developed by Dan Harrington in his books Harrington On Hold'em. It tells you how many orbits you can survive before being blinded out. You calculate this number like this:

M = stack / (small blind + big blind + ante*players)

If you have 3200 chips and it's 100/200 + 20, in a 9 player table, your M is:

M = 3200 / (100 + 200 + 20*9) = 6.67
