So what should I do in this kind of situtation?

I was thinking that hands that the player1 can 3-bet in SB are AA - JJ, AK or KQs.

Im behind against AA, KK and even with AK and winning against QQ, JJ and KQ, but when he is all-in he need to have AA, KK, AK or KQ and i can win him only if he has KQ.

So my question is (again) what should I do in this situtation?

You are supposed to play extremely tight when the blinds are still small. So TPTK isnt worth going all-in with.

how about 2 pair and sets, nope AK allin is for me a nono.

but his raise preflop says he has something, ur raise after the flop ws in my opinion to small.


first of all you have to raise more pre flop 3 BB + 1 BB each limper
in this situation you have to raise 5 times the BB =300

at the flop you have to raise more then just a minimum raise. make it aorund 3 times his bet.


behind two limpers i think 180 is pretty short.
i would raise like 240 or 300

if u raise that amount, and he re raises u out of position, its because he HAS a hand.

on the flop he makes a small continuation bet indicating weakness, u MUST re-raise at least 2 more times the amount, u have tu protect your TPTK, mini raises dont work on this levels.

when he re-raises i put him on KK or AK also. but i would fold this clearly, because its too early in the sit and go, and you dont have a "great" hand here. just top pair.

Think you are there for winning the sit and go, nothing else. so dont get troubles on early levels

raise 3BB + 1BB per limper

reraise 3times the original raise

then the hand would have looked quite different ;)

in sit&go you have to analyse your opponents and even after couple of hands you can notice that on 6$ tables there are some looser players and some over-agressive ones. Here it maybe looks like he has aces or trips but all-in with such cards is just overprotecting a very good hand so there is something fishy about it.

The way you played looks like you didnt hit TPTK(or you hit trips and you are building a pot) so now you will never know what he had coz it could be pure bluff becoz of your weak bet. Ofc if you raised more you would probably have to call his all-in too.

I know its not according to good strategy but i would probably call all-in even in your case at 6$(!) becoz chances for AA or 777 arent very big and AK should win or draw here in much more then 50% of cases. From my experience players at 6$ make such moves with much weaker cards but any kind of read from previous hands helps alot.
