Risk Vs. Reward Question: Double or Nothing SNG.

« on: October 30, 2010, 12:17:52 PM »

There are 8 people left in a 10 man DON (double or nothing) SNG. You're under starting stack (1200) and blinds are 25/50.

You are dealt KK UTG, and Raise to 150. Behind you, a player shoves, and 2 others call. Each of them have you covered.

Do you call and have an almost certain cash if you win, or fold and hope to survive at a 7 or 6 handed table?

Are there any other shorter stacks that aren't in the hand? How far behind the next stack (that isn't in the hand) are we?

Almost certainly a fold. AA is a closer decision, but probably still a fold.

Fold. You still have some time and why risk it here with all that action?

At that point you fold---it's the smart play.

On the other hand, if you don't think that anyone else would call without an A-x---then your probability has gone way up.

Is this a real hand lol that is some crazy ----. I suppose I can find a fold given
the circumstances, being the blinds are 50, and so many people in, it is likely
someone has aces, people usually play pretty tight in these, but I would
usually be getting kk in no matter what.

Also, it would be good to know the buy-in, if this were a higher buy-in, I am
more likely to fold, lower buy-in, more
likely to get it in since the ranges are so wide in them.

Since the blinds are relatively small at the moment, I'm folding and waiting for a better situation.
