PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (7 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($10.30)
CO ($8.24)
Button ($2.36)
SB ($1.97)
BB ($6.28)
UTG ($6.36)
MP1 ($2.46)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q, A.
UTG calls $0.05, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.2, 1 fold, Button calls $0.20, SB calls $0.18, 1 fold, UTG calls $0.15.

Flop: ($0.85) 7, Q, 9 (4 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $0.5, Button raises to $1, SB raises to $1.77, UTG folds, Hero ???

No reads on either players, I just sat down. Does the size of both stacks dictate that I call?

On a side note, I have always been a sng player and just started giving cash games a try, so any comments/suggestions much appreciated.

Based on stack sizes get the rest of their money in the pot here.

From what I have seen short stackers at the $10 and $25NL are generally HORRIBLE players who think bottom pair or under pairs to the board are golden.
Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

I wouldn't worry too much about trying to find spots to fold decent hands just yet. wait until people aren't stacking off with worse, then think about it.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Right now I'm a bit overwhelmed by cash games, so hopefully I'll be posting a bunch of questions and can go from there. I'm very used to sng play where the blinds dictate the style of play and preflop play dominates post flop play for the most part.

I have a long way to go.

I will say that I am a known calling station, so take my advice to not fold with a grain of salt
