hey,

This is a hand I reviewed in SNGwiz and it says fold? I thought this was a no-brainer push. What do you guys think?

Villain (raiser): VPIP: 43, PFR: 10, 3B: 25

[converted_hand][hand_history]Merge, $1 Buy-in (75/150 blinds, 10 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 8 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #10969122

Hero (SB): 1,175 (7.8 bb)
BB: 2,325 (15.5 bb)
UTG+2: 2,835 (18.9 bb)
MP1: 1,465 (9.8 bb)
MP2: 645 (4.3 bb)
MP3: 1,251 (8.3 bb)
CO: 1,734 (11.6 bb)
BTN: 3,570 (23.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J

3 folds, MP3 raises to 300, 2 folds, Hero?

I'm pushing vs this drooler but rolling my eyes when he flips over qq-aa cus that's how a donk would play those hands with 8 bbs... but I think he's a big enough moran that you'll see enough wtf crap AJs is good enough.

is this a DON or regular sng?

Your problem with this type of player is that he will NEVER r/f, so if you are basing a push on your hand equity + fold equity, you will have no fold equity. You have to stove his 10% range vs AJs (we have ~46% equity).

ive seen people raise fold here, and in stupider spots.

jam seems pretty legit. but its genuinly the worst you should be doing it with. fold Ajo, literally. fold 77 and below also if you care.

If villain really isn't looser than 10% there and never folds, this is a very marginal fold according to wiz.
Considering that this is 1$ SnG and he's a fish as his stats suggest, I guess play there is bad enough that you find some guys wo r/f in that spot and he's likely to be wider than 10% there anyway, so for me it looks like a shove.
If he was a reg you would love to fold here since he never will do this without a monster and you can be happy that he saved you chips there with his play.
