Take a deep breath and fold:)


I would say fold, to raise a reraise you'd have to have AA-KK in my opinion. Depends on the read of the MP2, how tight he is.


nice hand , you played it well

never flat call that reraise as you only give the other players odds to call
in higher stakes you would have to think of what hands am I up against and do I need to gamble this early in a sng but at this level & it being a turbo sng makes it fine to push

I'd say quite an clear fold... Against a 3bet and 4bet AKo not such a great card...
Plus two of players who raised are still to act, (I don't count a limper there) and both of them have You covered.

Call would be a terrible mistake - giving nice odds to call for for worse cards and draw out smth on flop. if you wanna play - push to isolate.

Push maybe acceptable, but I'd vote for a fold there. In best case you will have a coinflip or split there - I can't believe some1 4beting with a push having less than AKo or pocket pair.

Hi,

A push isn't horrible here given the buy-in, but I would prefer to fold here.

@chenny
How can you say a push isn't horrible just because of the buy-in?
This buy-in would be the limit he can play for his Bankroll.
Just because its a $1.50BI doesn't mean villain can't have big pockets or even A,A and have hero dominated.

What chenny means is, that on these micro-stakes, people will more often have AJ or AQ then AA or KK in this spot, simply because generally, the players on microstakes are very, very, very bad.

Precisely. Don't worry, regardless of the buy-in/stakes, I will always try to help you in maximising $EV :).
