Micro buy-in 45-man sng; early flop decision Micro buy-in 45-man sng; early flop decision

Apologies if this is an easy decision (I've not played in awhile). Also apologize for the formatting: I didn't save the HH at the time and just discovered I apparently didn't have my Stars settings set to save my HH's. So this is as detailed as I can be [from memory]....


This is very very early in a $0.25 buy-in 45-man full-ring sng [NOT a turbo or bounty tourney]---still 41 left standing---so no substantial reads on anyone other than CO [who already seems very fishy/loose].

Table is presently 8-handed, hero has roughly 70-71bb equivalent (like 1,420), and everyone else is more or less similarly-stacked except for BTN who had about double that from just knocking someone out. HJ just barely has me covered [literally by only about 10 chips].

Hero is UTG+1 (equivalent of UTG+2 at a full table) with TT.
Blinds 10/20 (Ante 3)

Pre-Flop: (pot: 54)
fold, Hero raises to 60, MP calls 60, HJ calls 60, 3 folds, BB calls 40.

Flop: (pot: 274, 4 players) 694
BB checks, Hero bets ~200, MP folds, HJ raises to ~1,360 and is all-in, BB folds, Hero???

In the super micro stakes tournaments, you have a mixture of super spewy calling stations and v tight players.

If villain is the former slam dunk call if latter then slam dunk fold.

With no reads just call it off, it’s only $0.27 and you have a read for next time on that player

No v tight players just dump off like this with value tho imo.

OP I'm snap calling and once in a while getting shown better.

OK, thanks guys. That's what I thought. Does the rest of my line look OK? (fwiw, retrospectively I think I actually bet even a pinch larger on the flop [like 210 or 215])

As to my decision:
Spoiler:
I did call, and he showed up with 66. Even after the fact, though, I figure he shows up with A LOT of 9x in this spot at this stake: tptk, tpgk, T9s or 98s (with BD draws), etc.
I also thought it unlikely that he'd have an overpair larger than mine [because no pf 3bet].
Thought I'd make sure though.

I don't see a reason to bet so big tbh. It's a very dry board and you still have an overpair as well. We don't really wanna dust off 89s on a double barrel per se.
