$60 buyin(12buyins+4rebuys)

I'm a NL FR SSS cash player, but tonight I ended up playing a live SnG , so I'll try to describe whole situation and give as much info as I can remember.

final table 6 players.

Hero is MP1
blinds 100/200

all together 32000 chips
UTG (about 3000)
Hero (1020)
MP2 (about 10000)
BU (about 2800)
SB(+-12000)
BB(+-2600)

preflop
Hero A:hA:s

UTG folds, Hero raises to 400, MP2 folds, BU calls 400, SB folds, BB calls 400

flop: Q:c, 8:s, 7:s

Hero all-in 620, BU calls, BB calls

turn: T:c, river A:d

BU: KJo
BB: JTo

Was it OK that I minraised pf, because blinds were too high and I didn't want to scare anyone from play, because I have a very tight image and people usually know I have good hand when I go all-in.
I figured i have the best chance of winning the hand, even multiway and i needed to get more chips in the pot cause blinds were insane.
Anyway, all players on the table have insane VP$P and WSD, bunch of fishes that almost always call with offsuit connectors, Ax, hands like 73s, Kx, ...
anyway, i'm not a SH player and didn't train much with ICM, so don't flame me.

And just for the record, I won buyin by winning 20 ppl cheaproll. so much hard work to get busted in such lame way :(

Push preflop. 5BB left and you min-raise, this looks way scarier than a shove. As such a shorty you have to loosen up anyway. Even if nobody calls your shove (and I'd expect a call from one of those loose calling stations), the blinds definitely are worth it.


Agree, push it in!
Playing AA multiway is often quite risky so id rather see that only one of my opponents called.

Hi erptech,

Push it in preflop. If they're loose they'll call you anyway, and will not be thinking about image, etc.
