Folding small pairs to Preflop All In, in SnGs?

[JohnCPoker17]

Let's say you hold 66. If you think your opponents range includes a 6,5,4,3 or 2, then you may be able to allin for +EV. If not you're flipping at best, and most often succumbing to a -EV decision.

In sit n go's I tend to keep my stack in mind when making this kind of decision. I will usually risk my chips in this scenario heads up and rarely against 2 all in players. If I'm in a good position already I will pretty much never make the call against 2 all in players it doesn't seem like a good play long term.

No need to take at best 50% equity with the blinds that small imo. depends on the game and the level

Usually fold unless you have a really good read on the opponent. Have you seen him go all in pre with shite before? without more info it's hard to tell.

u must try to fell the opponent who raises too much and see what he is playing at start and his style lase game i mean when flop turns and so on

You're often in a situation where on the table open 3 pairs? It is necessary to play. focusing on the stack.

Honestly i doubt you are folding them too often. If you dont win a huge hand once or twice while 2 players are all in its ok, More often than not you are not trying to put yourself ina race situation in a SNG, and thats exactly what a small PP is going to get you into. You are going to be racing so i strongly suggest that you only call with a small to mid range PP if you have a strong read on players sharing cards (ie AK, AQ or AJ AK or so on). This is hard to get a read on players like that on SNGs and i have recently stopped playing small PPs so much on large MTTs which has greatly helped my game. Racing isnt always the way you want to play, there are plenty of ways to gain chips in a tournament, stealing and playing weaker players in isolation and so forth. So the only time you are going to want to play the small PPs to all ins is when youa re short stacked and you are honestly looking for a race. This is what weaker players and more new players will do , they look for races because its an easier way for them to win rather than strategically look at the hand becasue they will more than likely get outplayed. So just because you have thrown away some small to mid PPs in some SNGs that may have won, Id say stick to that strategy it should help you in the long run. Unless you have a dead read that the 2 players are all in and sharing cards or another short stack might be pushing with a small PP stay away from calling with these small to mid PPs. Good luck.

Usually i would fold Small pairs in sng's if there is a shove in front of me as generally the best you can hope is flipping. Always best to be the aggressor rather than the caller

You have to be careful, at lower levels you can expect new players to pull that more often, shoving in with any premium hands. However, at higher levels, no one just shoves any premium hands.
A good way of looking at it, as described by Phil Hellmuth, 88 and higher pairs are good to shove, anything lower is a bust.

 

[hffjd2000]

Just fold.

The only scenario I believe you stay is when a maniac shove and its only you to act with your pair.

 

[debriz]

Much better you first All in, so you won't regret at all. That's poker sometimes, no guts no glory!

After 2 All-in's u need odds to call this.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

never play with small pairs in preflop. Allways see the first 3 cards
