Question 2: I remeber Ship Happens a respeceted sng player says he or other good sng players would not raise 99 in EP in a unopened pot early on in a sng?? Do you call or fold?? Can you justify this please, bc I would normally raise this...I got this question from your interesting hand with Spacegravy ( i think) in $109 turbo, where you had a FH on the river and folded...

spacegravy routinely limps 99 at the hijack and i have seen him do the same at the CO and button...I'm just telling you what the best do

you should any pair first level or lower

well given its a turbo and hes prob playing a few different tables so we wont be able to look that up in time....also even with given that info we could still even be ahead but i guess id lean more towards a fold

I priv msged jennifear and ship happens to help replyfor #1, 2...It was no level, ship happens in his long thread about his hand with spacegravy, said spacegravy is not rasing 99 from ep early in a sng...and he said no great turbo sng players are...This may only be in higher level sngs, im not sure...I usually play 16's and 25 and will always raise 99 from ep, i consider myself to be pretty good :)
thx in the responses so far...

lol I tried at least...
but in all seriousness 99 is a somewhat standard limp for a ton of players and that is not a level

Question 1:
Shove unless he's good. This guy, mleone, is reraising you with QQ+, AK, so the correct answer is fold. With no reads, it's a shove in a $16, especially at night when the bad players are on and you might be staring at KQ or AJ.
Question 2:
Raising 88+ is good strategy in a winner-take-all SNG. In a 50/30/20 SNG, the chips you risk are worth more than the chips you stand to gain, so you need to play a tad tighter. In addition, at the low limits, you have the extra benefit of stacking someone off more frequently when you play it as a set mining hand and they triple barrel bluff you with cheese or call their whole stack off on top pair, bad kicker. Therefore, it's a hand I usually limp UTG at the $16s. For the record, it is not horrible to raise this.
Hope that helps!
