Full Tilt Poker $5 + $0.50 Sit & Go No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t25/t50 Blinds - 8 players
The Official 2+2 Hand Converter Powered By DeucesCracked.com

BTN: t1435
SB: t1545
BB: t1940
UTG: t1840
UTG+1: t1195
MP1: t3120
Hero (MP2): t1075
CO: t1350

Pre Flop: Hero is MP2 with K

2 folds, MP1 calls t50, Hero raises to t250, 1 fold, BTN calls t250, 2 folds, MP1 calls t200

Flop: (t825) 2

(3 players)
MP1 checks, Hero checks, BTN bets t825, MP1 folds, Hero folds

This table was insane, with 5 or 6 loose players calling any raise preflop. With that in mind should I just push all in here?

I guess with that read I just shove and hope to get called by A7o.

Just because they've been calling any raise preflop doesn't mean that they didn't catch here. Have they shown aggression with nothing postflop?

I think I find a fold pretty easy here, and wait for a better spot. Sounds like you'll have plenty of opportunities to get these guys to stack of against you when you're faring way better than a couple high cards.

If everybody is that insane then I don't see anything wrong with pushing.

If you don't though, I'd make PF raise ~t180. As it doesn't seem to make any difference and makes having to check/fold for whatever reason, cheaper.

kinda sucks but with that many callers pre, you cant imagine to be ahead at this point, which sucks, but i just fold and move on.. if they are as crazy as you say, there are probly gonna be better spots to get ur money in when sure ur ahead....

I'm pretty sure OP isn't relating to shoving the flop, that's a clear check/fold. I think PF is the question here, guys.

w/ ur stack size it doesnt seem so bad. if u had more chips i think it's just std to make it 200.

its really table dependant but seems like this table would allow u to profit enough from shovin ther.

I like shipping it here preflop for the reasons mentioned above.
