    I've only been playing a few months so am still learning fast and would appreciate any comments.

    This is the final table of an 18 player sit and go $15 buy in (a bit higher than my usual games but I fancied a gamble) Is this how I should have played this hand.

    My read on the Froudeman was that he was stealing with any high cards so I was pretty sure he was not on a pair.

    Still Im not too disappointed I finished in the money.

    You have to call . This is a fourhanded table so you shouldn't be as concerned that you're facing a higher overpair which means calling the all in bet was justified .

    Thanks for the reply! I wondered whether I should have dropped this hand and waited to see if the others knocked each other out, but I suppose that could have been my best chance anyway....

    Yeah, you can't lay that down. I might have moved all-in pre-flop in that situation.
