I'm mostly interested in the turn decision. The overbet push didn't scream like a monster to me, but this was very early in the SnG and I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk my tournament on this draw.

UTG: t1370
UTG+1: t1150
UTG+2: t1440
MP1: t1620
MP2: t1180
Hero (CO): t1450
BTN: t1890
SB: t1900
BB: t1500

Pre Flop: Hero is CO with J

5 folds, Hero raises to t90, 2 folds, BB raises to t270, Hero calls t180

Flop: (t555) T

(2 players)
BB bets t1230 all in, Hero ???

I fold here, can't see how you could be ahead here.

Seems like a pretty easy fold

AK, AQ, AJs, KK, QQ, TT and even AA puts you in a very bad spot. all hands that he can have 3-bet pre with. And you only got maximum 8 outs and sometimes if he has AJ your almost drawing dead. And as you say its early and you still got plenty of time.

If he later shows to be a lagtard spew then adapt.

its a v interesting spot as u r getting almost 1.5/1 pot odds and u r around a 2/1 dog to hit your straight. if u knew the two js were outs too u have almost exactly the pot odds to call. but u need to be better than that so some % of the time we need to be ahead here for us to consider calling. is that possible? i dont think it so we cant call. AT is the only hand we are beating.
