Hi everyone! Here, I was wondering between folding or calling preflop, and if there is no K or A on the flop to continue with betting. On the flop I was also wondering between folding and raising. Do you think it was the correct line of play and could it be played better? Thanks!

Any info abaut MP2 would be good, you beat AJ,TT there and bluffs, he looks strong, if no info i would shove pre (i suck at folding).

Considering this is a 0,50 SnG I think shoving pre is fine - on a higher buy-in level it would be highly dependant on reads on opponents... but on a 0,50 SnG one can assume just a sufficient amount of donkeys among our opponents to make a shove profitable.

Reads or stats on the MP2 player would be nice, but especially in a 50c STT I wouldn’t mind shoving QQ or the player is very tight. If you call like now you will invest a decent amount of your stack when you aren’t closing the action yet and even on a dry board without over cards, you could end up in an awkward spot.

I'm defo never folding pre flop.
3betting an UTG 2,5x raise already looks pretty strong, so it really depends on the reads (on both the UTG open and the MP 3bet) we have if it's shove>call>>>>>>>fold or call>shove>>>>>>fold. In a $0,50 I don't mind getting it in with QQ pre readless btw.

On the flop it's yuck (since both JJ and 99 are in villains range), but villain still has a valuerange Jx,99+ and maybe an overplayed AK or other weird spazz (though not very likely).
