I know - it's wrong to get sucked into the bad play of your neighbours?

MP2: t1460
CO: t1450
BTN: t1315
SB: t2425
Hero (BB): t1370
UTG: t1430

Pre Flop: (t45) Hero is BB with K :club: A :heart:
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t30, 4 folds, SB calls t15, Hero raises to t150, UTG+1 raises to t890 all in, SB raises to t1630, Hero calls t1220 all in

Flop: (t3630) 4 :heart: 8 :club: J :spade: (3 players - 2 are all in)

Turn: (t3630) J :club: (3 players - 2 are all in)

River: (t3630) 4 :club: (3 players - 2 are all in)

Final Pot: t3630
UTG+1 shows As 7d (two pair, Jacks and Fours)

Hero shows Kc Ah (two pair, Jacks and Fours)
SB wins t960

Hi all,

Nice hand well played. AKo = the nuts preflop at the low limit SNG IMO (especially once you've raised).

I disagree. I'd fold. I don't like AKo to play multiway. Even if you give them widest range possible you've got 40% equity. That's obviously great but 3 out of 5 tourneys you're gonna end right there and you'll triple on the other two.

Personally, I don't like pre-flop gambles early in the tour. If it was later in the tournament and your stack is low then move in, but at blinds 15/30, I would throw it away.

But I like 40% equity to triple up. Our "tournament life" is not worth THAT much.
