    I am utg, blinds are 300-600, I am dealt KJss, I was wondering if this is a raise or a open fold. I'm not being results oriented, but I raised to 1800, guy who was fairly active from the sb pushed for another 2000. I called because I thought that I was commited and obv lost. What is the right play in that situation? If I win I am the dominant chip lead.

    Thanks, Fenety.

    edit: The rest of the stacks are around ~2000, 5 people left.
    edit2: I had around 3800. Essentially commiting myself.

    What is your stack? And 5 left isn't the bubble.

    With a little over 6 bbs and the sizes of the other stacks, shove.

    if the raise commits you then why not shove in the first place

    shove, ive seen plent of ppl call with A rag, K rag and small pairs in these. Also getting to 300/600 with 5 ppl left is pretty amazing, that must mean ppl at ur table are tight.

    exact answer... I just read in collin moshmans book on SNG's yesterday.

    snap fold because while calling and losing is a disaster, your vast equity is 0. also if you call and win, a substantial amount of equally vast equity from UTG loss goes not to you but to rest of the shortstacks.

    You shove (with the next best option being fold)

    You'd be surprised how much you can shove here. KJs is a lot stronger than most of the hands you can go in with!

    Easy shove, esp with the stack sizes and ur hand, next best option is fold. Never raise then fold in this spot, that would be horrible.

    Yeah, I raised with the intention of calling an all in. I just didnt think that its really beating much that is going to push on me.

    300-600 you shove or fold

    i would shove personally seeing you must have a table of complete knits to have 5 people left in a turbo sng at 300-600 and there calling ranges must be rock hard
