Just reread my post and i'm not sure it explains my point very well.

Basically, if you push in this spot, you lose to any T (nobody is calling that bet preflop with a T and laying it down on that flop), and you give anyone without a T (or 99) a good chance of getting away from their hand which they think is probably the best (eg A9, JJ-KK).

If you call flop bet and check/call later streets then you probably still lose all your chips to a T, but you make more than you would have off all other hands unless someone stupidly loose with QJ hits their draw. But then, if they played QJ like this up to this point, chances are they're calling flop push anyway. I like this line the best because it makes me feel good when i call opp's push and they flip A9 lol.

Of course you can fold to flop reraise too but imho that's a little too tight.

PS Have never played abve $15 buyins for SnGs so this may not apply at all here.
The poker gods love me really, they are just testing my faith !
