almost 2:1 with queens……I’d rather be the pusher, but I would have to make the call, only a very strong read would change my mind.

CALL. This bet appears designed to push me out and get player A heads up. I think I’m in great shape here.

What are you waiting for? You have to call here. It is a good example of how SNG and cash games are different.

Theoretically with the gap concept I should need a better hand than both players to make the call. Given the description of player B and QQ being the 3rd highest starting hand I believe I probably do. I would expect player A to fold behind me since he would be facing two other players for all his chips. I will likely be facing anything from AK to a lower pair, with my biggest concern being what player A will do. At the end of the day, I make the call with the strong belief that I will ultimately be facing 1 opponent and going in with the best of it.

What’s there to think about again? A premium hand at a sit and go pre-flop. Easy call.
