Q: what is the correct action pre-flop or what would you do? UTG stats 35/21
after i tell my thinking in this spot.
No-Limit Hold'em Tournament, 100/200 Blinds (4 handed) - Converter Tool from http://flopturnriver.com/

SB (t1,520)
Hero (BB) (t2,808)
UTG (t6,922)
Button (t2,250)

Hero's M: 9.36

Preflop: Hero is BB with A, 8
UTG calls t200, 2 folds, Hero raises t2,200, UTG raises t6,702, Hero calls t388

Flop: (t5,676) 10, 9, J (2 players)

Turn: (t5,676) Q (2 players)

River: (t5,676) 7 (2 players)

Total pot: t5,676

Results below:

Spoiler

Hero had A, 8 (straight, Queen high).
UTG had A, A (one pair, Aces).
Outcome: Hero won t5.76

It’s a little bit suspicious that the big stack isn’t raising with this stack dynamic. Without any reads he should pretty much fold his entire limping range to make a push profitable at the bubble of a SNG. You don’t want to clash with him as 2nd in chips. So I would check behind here.

I agree with SDK.
Much more profitable for you to just limp behind and try to catch a flop instead of pot comitting here.
And you can also put pressure on the 3rd in chips.
Would prefer the tight fold here

Just checking and Hero is in the BB. So limping is out of the question here and edited my previous post a little bit :f_wink:

Thanks for answers. You are absolutely right. But in game the UTG played so creative, and i believe he had no clue of stack dynamic. But yeah i made a mistake :f_cry:
