    ok, me and a friend are having a disagreement for how i played this hand, can ay of you offer up expert opinions.

    this guy who thinks hes a poker god, claims that i played this hand like a donk, in this situation, im playing against he big stack out of position,

    i have 1500 in chips he has 4900, hes been raising and calling all ins with garbage, being out of posistion i decide to push to eliminate the positoin factor, he calls, with garbage of course, and gets lucky on me,

    i was doing this SNG for a staker, so thats why its important to me, i want to know what you guys think about my play of the hand.

    Well, according to the HH you only have 890 chips, not 1500.

    Anyway, your M is about 3. If you think he's loose and is playing total garbage, it's likely that A-J is ahead. With your low M there's no way you're not shoving all-in, so you played it fine.

    He was essentially priced in to call you, so he did.

    Not a bad play by you though.

    You played it fine.

    What does your friend think you should have done? Folding AJ to a guy who everyone knows is playing garbage is foolish, especially given your stack situations. Calling with an M < 3 is probably the dumbest thing you can do, so pushing is the only logical choice.

    He called you a donk for getting your money in pre-flop with Q-Q up against K-10?

    I think you already know who the donk is.

    Hint: It's not you.
