Okay, first I have to apologize that I can't find the hand history on this. I looked in my files but couldn't find it. Anyhow, here's a rough idea of how the hand went.
It is early in the SNG and the blinds are only 15/30 and my reads on the players are minimal. I raise the blind to 3x the BB in early position with 2345 double suited. I do this for two reasons: 1. I've got a player two seats ahead with 90 chips left and I want that bounty 2. Early raises at this lvl usually means high cards and/or high PP's so if the flop hits me, i can score a number of chips.
The person next reraises me to 150 chips. The player with 90 chips calls to go all in. The cutoff calls for 150 and the BTN reraises all in. Blinds fold and the action comes to me. I have a healthy chips stack and don't necessarily want to risk it on 2345 double suited BUT with all the calls, I'm putting most on high cards/high PP's so I feel like the flop could hit me and I could double up if not more. The downside is it could be a donk shove by one or more of the players and some of my low cards may be counterfieted. I could also be crushed by flushes in some of the hands I assume to be high PP's or high cards if the flop doesn't come out right.
So, before I let you know what I did and how it turned out....a few questions. Are some of the assumptions I've laid out realistic to those who are reading this? Also, would you call or fold? Any other thoughts are appreciated because something similar to this happened to me tonight and this situation influenced that decision.
Hopefully I've typed this out so it doesn't read too poorly.
