    Default Medium overpair on flop faced with aggression

    OK start of SnG. $2+25. I have pcoekt 10s on button. 2 limpers before me. I raise 3.5xBB. Blinds fold limpers call. Pot is 380.
    Flop comes 7s 8s 3d. First guy puts in pot size. Next guy minimum re-raises. My stack has 1850 left. 760 to call. Other two have 1500 and 2500. What should I do?

    Don't tell us what they had (post results). First, raise huge pre, this is the beginning of a S&G where most people love to see flops for cheap, relative to stacks. I raise 5-6xbb + 1bb for each limper. After that, well I can't answer honestly as you posted results!
    Grinding my way to 100NL, 1 2NL bb at a time.

    This should be in the SNG Forum.

    When it is your turn to act, the pot is 1520, if my calculations are correct. So it is a choice between pushing all in or folding in my opinion, as calling for nearly half your stack and subsequently folding would be horrible.

    As they limped and called preflop, its unlikely that either has an overpair, except maybe JJ and so you probably have the equity to shove, unless one of them has JJ, 88, 77, 33 or 87, which are a relatively small number of hands. You also have TT, so its much less likely you are up against T9 and have a straight and a flush draw against you. As it is perfectly possible that they could show up with Kh8h and As4s, I think I would shove in this spot.

    Having said that, if you are against K8/A4 and they both call, you are only 40% to triple up which means that there is a 60% chance of exiting. And if your TT is not best on this flop, then you are practically drawing dead. You have not put much in the pot, so folding would be fine. This is a pretty close decision, as most of the time you are going to have 40 - 50% equity against their ranges.

    raise to 3.5x+1bb/limper. Your sizing as is gives great odds to both limpers and considering they would call a larger bet anyway and we have a good hand is more than enough to justify raising it higher. The blinds are 15/30 right, so raise to like 150-180ish instead of 105.

    As played, you've had a whole 10 minutes or so at the minimum to get any kind of information at all on your opponents. What are their postflop tendencies? Is this normal for them? Do they enjoy donking for full pot and minraising with weak ass hands?

    Completely in the dark, probably fold. I cant really see an A8 doing this and beleive 87, 99-JJ and sets are much more likey to be in their range and winning isnt really all that important here.
