Hi king15br,
Consider using a hand converter such as https://pokeit.co/convert/.
It makes the hand easier to read, so other members are more likely to respond.

In this case — and please note I'm not an SnG player — I think KQs could be a shove w/ only 9BB
However looking at this hand, your raise got you Heads-up in position — so mission accomplished.
As played, it looks to me that you played it well from that point on — but if you're not going to stab the turn, then OTR you face a possible made flush, a possible made straight on a paired board with only top pair and 2nd best kicker. Would that not be a fairly standard fold?

Especially with ICM involved I would play it simple with a push/fold strategy pre-flop with a 9bb stack. KQs would be a shove for sure and then you most likely won the pot right away. Offcourse with a huge big stack in a 25c SNG you never know.

Cheers,

Thanks Vorpal,i will use it in future posts.

i think your"e right by saiyng to shove pre-flop.it would be easier and i would avoid the tough situation of playng pos flop agains a Deep Stach with so Little Blinds

I wouldn't unless I know how the big stack SB plays. Check with ICMizer but play around with SB's calling ranges and see how it changes your open shoves. ;)
