3$ SNG 9 player regular - blind 15/30
UTG+1: limp
Hero (1200 chips) Hijack seats : AJo, raise 90.
SB (1100 chips) called. BB fold. UTG+1 called.
UTG+1 has been playing many hands, definitely a weak player. SB has not played much. I don't have information on him.
Flop: Ad Ks 9s.
SB bets 150. UTG+1 fold. Hero called.
Turn: 3c
SB 300. Hero????

I guess i can't beat a whole lot here. A7 A8 is probably the low end of his range. Could be betting something like 10sJs. But i really don't want to find out.
Any comments on how the hand is played out? Thanks

In theory it should be a call. Any time you can't name hands that you would get here with that you're calling should be a good bluff spot for him, so the top of your range ought to be profitable to at least call.

Also at this level he can definitely be overplaying worse.

If it's only 300 then I would call, you only need to be good 1 time out of 6.

Call, Your good a lot here but not strong enough to raise. Villain has a lot of weaker aces in his range (including A9) and broadway fds and only a few sets. River is tricky if the flush misses and villain bombs it.

Thank you. I have some hesitation about this spot. I can beat about 30% of his range. if he bets river, very unlikely my hand will still be good. especially villain is not on of the crazy ones on the table. mathematically, it seems like a call. but do u want to pay off a tighter player with more than half your stack?
