LEts say 4 left in a sng. The stacks sizes are 3500, 2800, 2200, and 4000. Blinds 100/200. The UTG player folds and ur on the button with 66 and you have the 2200 stack. 2800 and 3500 are in the blinds. How should you play. In my opinion i just push in cause in a 4 handed game 66 on the button is very strong and it would be hard to fold to a reraise with having commited about 600. Plus its 300 chips every 4 hands and blinds go up to 150/300 very soon in sngs. I made the play to push allin but ran into 10 10. Do you think I could of played it any differently. Oh, and btw, how about cutting the tournament forum into sng and mtt subsections?

I say it's how well you know the blinds play. If they are super tight I push, if not this may even be a fold as best you normally can hope for is coin flip. You are short stack so I think their range of calling is lowered. Best scenario you can hope for is someone calling with A-rag under 6.

If you playing for the cash I say you can fold but it's a SNG so 3rd isn't worth much.

You have to push or fold in my opinion and folding is very weak at this point but may squeak you into the money.

You absolutely need to fold here.

He had TT and you aren't getting the right price to chase a set.

Off the cuff, I would say that folding and pushing are pretty much equivalent in EV terms here.

Don't post results.

Also, why is this called a hypothetical question when it really happened?

Don't post results.

I actually think we're a little too deep here to push, and I am not sure I like folding, so I would prob make the standard raise and see what happens. If we were around 1500 with these blinds then I would open push.
