During the first few levels during these SnGs I tend to play semi-tight and hope to hit the flop hard and take down a huge pot because everyone calls all the way down with anything, so since they are playing anything capped preflop, my selection of hands is cut drastically.
Anyway, to the point: I'm in mid-position with a couple of kids behind me that have been raising almost every pot, I'm dealt Ad-As-3c-10h. Its been limped to me, but I elect to fold simply because the only thing I really have going for me is the A-3 low, A-10 high, or the A-A high. No flush possiblities and no great straight possible short of some exceptional flop for me. So I decided to fold.
Had the hand been double- (maybe even single-) suited I might have considered calling. Is this a reasonable fold, or is this an "I-hate-money" fold?
I have been pretty successful in the sit-n-gos. The main reason I play them is because its a BR-safe way to learn and perfect my game before I move to the cash games. I have played about 32-ish or so SnGs and my place is about about even in each spot 3:4:3 and have about 4-5 out of the money finishes.
Edit: Just wanted to mention that this isn't a fold I would make everytime or from every position and it was dependent mostly on that fact that this table was being stupidly aggressive preflop raising with borderline hands like 8-6-8-9 off-suit. While my hand may be a large favorite preflop, isolation was next to impossible on this table as there were easily 4-7 players in each hand, even when capped.
That can easily change after the flop against so many people and I like to stick to hands that have a good change of scooping. And i just won the SnG that this hand happened in...
