5 hands into a $5 SNG on ACR. 9 players each with around 1,500. Blinds 10/20. UTG opens for $50. Cutoff raises to $150. I’m on the button looking at QQ. Whats the correct play?

I raise to 500 and am happy to see a flop or get it in. 

Queens is the bottom of my range for getting it in at this stage…not happy to GII with K A very early stage…and Jacks only if the villain is way loose.

For a 9 man sng you should avoid a flip at this stages, if you think their range of calling will be AK, JJ+ you should fold. With reads on oponents, and if you know you have fold equity a 4bet may be good. But for sng you should go more for stack preservation.

Why are you taking calling off the table?

Why not to call pre?

We are oop, with 1500 starting stack, pot OTF will be ~470, with 1350 behind if utg doesn´t decide to 4bet pre flop. Will be hard to play post flop, hero can lose 1/3 of his stack trying to, stack preservation is way more important I think.

We’ll actually be OTB so IP for the entire hand. I also feel that people will often spew 4-bet squeeze with many lower pairs if we flat this pre. We also get the advantage of seeing a flop in position with a very strong hand near the top of our range. I like call a bit, actually.

Oops… my bad, sorry. I thought hero was SB, on the BTN there is more of a case to call IP, and play from there.
