nlhe sng hand

[Guest]

Here's a hand I just ran into and I'm wondering what other people would do. This is a 10/1 NLHE SNG and we're almost done with the second level. So far the table has been fairly passive preflop though some people have overplayed hands after that.Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converterUTG+1 (t2250)MP1 (t1590)MP2 (t940)CO (t605)Button (t660)SB (t875)Hero (t775)UTG (t305)Preflop: Hero is BB with [Kc], [Ac]. UTG raises to t90, UTG calls t215 (All-In).The UTG just lost a pot and I figured he was probably steaming since he was now the shortstack at the table as well. After his fairly standard raise of 3*BB I figured I would either smooth call and move in regardless of the flop or raise him all-in preflop and take my chances if it's a coinflip.The SB moving all-in just reeks of an isolation raise so he can get it HU with UTG. This indicated to me that he probably has medium pocket pair and I don't really want to take a coinflip this early in the tournament with a fairly strong but drawing hand.Is this good logic or this a good spot to get my money in and hopefully take down a huge pot and be a big stack at the table?Zara

It depends on if you want to go with a coin flip this early in the tourney.I probably call because the AK is sooooooted!

Folding is fine here, it's still early in the tourney.

I'm calling all day long there. Agreed the short stack is probably weak, but the all in is definately to isolate and his holdings could be as week as AJo or KQo and even if it's a pair you've got odds to double up. You already have 2with double your chips and with the blinds rising soon, even though it's 25/50 you have to take your chances now IMHO.
