    Early in a $20 SnG you pick up Jacks in the SB and its folded to MP who raises to 150 (BLinds 15/30) You have about T1500 after posting the SB and its then folded to you. Do you flat call here or reraise and why?

    Flat call because the pot is too small to make reraising worthwhile and there is no need to get involved in a coinflip at this early stage.

    Hmm...quite a big bet, 5 times the bb, your out of position. It seems like the kind of bet QQ would make, making any A's or K's pay to hit their over. I dont like re-raising because you are going to have to make it significant (ie risk a large portion of your stack), MP may bounce back again, and if he does call, any Q K or A is going to be a scare. I would probably flat call this and decide then on the flop.

    Of course its a flat call. I just needed to convince myself that the idiots I was just argueing where wrong. Carry on..

    I would probably flat call... a re-raise wont give you too much information unless it is a significant one, and as said it is a bit early to be getting into a race.

    tbh I think it stinks of AK/Q, you see this big bets with these hands all the time in the SnG's.

    So flat call... if you get a good flop lead out. If your re-raised your probably goosed.

    getting into arguments in the chat section...classic.
    i try to avoid this but occasionally i slip. i never start it though. the other day i doubled up against a fella from east belfast in a mtt. he didnt like it called me a "c unt". a few hands passed and then i get "f*ing southerner bast*rd". i was lmao but he started up again. i fell for it and typed back just to get him "better than having a northern accent, nothing more annoying than the sound of a northern accent".
