Despite having the best hand here a lot, I feel this is a fold. Thoughts?

I tend to favor small PFR (75-80), I dont really like a fold here, I think FD or SD is more likely then 9x, I think I would reraise here

I fold. Pre seems fine, like TLR said you could maybe make it 75-80 but don't think it matters that much.

The only raise you can make here is shoving, and you've got awful equity against his range facing a pot size bet 3 way and with little fold equity.

I like the fold too. I find it unlikely that a villain will donk bet a bare FD or SD.

Just drop it. You're probably not ahead as often as you think.

At a full table, I usually fold 8's pre from UTG+1. When you get called (and you will in a $1 SNG this early) there's almost no flop you're happy to see.

Would you still fold if the action went bet, fold instead of check, bet?

For the same size PSB, yup.

fold > call>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>shove


what hand does shoving make sense against? you are racing, WB, or WA. If you think a FD is the most likely hand, calling then committing on a safe turn is much better. basically he has to have 44-77 for a shove to be good, PLUS he still has to call with those hands.

Best move here it s to fold. To early to shove...and to re-raise it s the worst move.

I am not a STT player and agree with the postflop fold, only I would just 2.5x it preflop.

You definitely cant call. You will be up against the same decision again on the turn after they bet again.

It's either fold or a shove. And an all-in while hoping that you don't get a call, because they can only call with a better hand.

In a cash game I might go all in. But in a tournament I would fold and live to see another hand
