Only like the 7th hand of the session so no real stats on opponent. In the normal single table SNGs I play I have no problem getting my stack in. Is that a standard play as well here at these stakes against an unknown? Or is a laydown a good move in the face of such action?

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop

UTG+1 ($7.35)
MP1 ($11.01)
MP2 ($10.84)
MP3 ($6.20)
CO ($22.46)
Button ($7.89)
SB ($9.50)
BB ($10)
Hero (UTG) ($20.54)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, A
Hero bets $0.35, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.35, 2 folds, CO calls $0.35, 3 folds

Flop: ($1.20) 5, 10, A (3 players)
Hero bets $1, 1 fold, CO calls $1

Turn: ($3.20) J (2 players)
Hero bets $2, CO to $9.20,

I think its AT AJ and TT more than anything else. Put him on a range- its hard w no stats but generally w/no reads I think you have to be more likely to give him credit.

Notice the stack sizes. Are you really considering putting in another $17 here? Because if you don't fold, it's going in.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Agreed that stacks are getting in on the river if I don't fold here. Also I'm not normally 200BB deep in SNGs, that's obviously why I'm not auto shoving here.

Very easy fold imo, absolutely no reason to include any bluffs/semi bluffs in this guys range and he probably doesn't even play AQ this way. Your equity looks really bad here vs a range of predominantly 2 pairs and sets.

KQ also just got there ... JT went from 2ndpr to 2pr... call this and you're playing for stacks and not much that's going to improve you (esp if the Q's just give you a chop). With no history or reads I fold.

fold with no info on villain. top pair top kicker isn't that good should never let all the money go in except short stacked. As played, its almost definitely no good.
