reraise or fold.
i personally would fold it preflop but i am a nit.
the blinds aren't that high yet and you just get into difficult situations when you hit TPTK or TPGK.
you get great odds for the flop call but you could already be down to 3 1/2-4 outs. so i would here as well.
after the turn potsize bet you should discount some outs. A on thr river might not be enough to win. flush and straight outs are clean so you got 12 outs. so round about 26%. you will probably stack him if you hit your outs so your call could be considered correct but this early in a sng i would rather play nitty and avoid close decisions.

I always fold this preflop. I used to call, but you get into all kinds of messy and bad spots. Your hand is good, but there is no real profitable way to play it in this spot .

I agree, it's an easy fold preflop without reads. If you have stats on the raiser and know that he is very loose preflop you can call and play fit or fold.
If the blinds were 40/80 and he raised to 240 I would resteal (=go all in) with AQs.

Hi all,

I prefer a resteal against unknown. We have only 30BB left so we can make these "light" resteals. In fact I would resteal AJs as well. I ignore UTG in these cases.

For me reshove > call = fold preflop.

As played I call the flop and fold the turn.
