SnG - First Hand Shove

This is literally the first hand of a 10-player £2.25 sit-and-go Bounty Hunter.

How often is this a maniac shoving light? Is it this worth calling?

(I actually folded, thinking it better to stay tight early on. He could be doing this with a pocket pair - no need to flip for my life at this stage - and if he's actually got the hand he's representing I'm in real trouble.)

I think the fold is correct even if has rags, better to wait for a better spot IMO

I probz call.

This is a normal SNG I presume which is weighted top heavy so you need to win, also it's a bounty hunter so people will most likely be getting it in super light to 'get the bounty's' and I can't see him doing this with AA/KK unless he's double bluffing you lol and hard to have AA/KK when you hace AK, pretty sure he has lots of random under cards you're ahead of here.

i see this thing all the time, its pretty much always AK, mebbe AQ, or 66-1010

if u think u have an decent edge over the the rest of the field u should defo fold as u can get their chips easier in a different way, but say u were in the sky roller/some other high buyin and were intimidated with the field, getting ur chips in as at worst a 50/50 to double up is a good as chance as any and should prob take it

DOHHHHHHH

it's a snap call.

I think this was also a factor in my folding. I've a pretty good record in these Bounty Hunters at this level (have cashed in 8 of my last 9). The player in question hardly played a hand for the next few orbits so may not have been such a maniac after all. I went on to finish 2nd.

It's become i big a commen thing now in sit and go first hands people are so used to somone just sitting down tilted as **** going on a mad one you have no infomation on him for me it would depend on the style of the sit an go if it's a fast game id make the call if it was a slow deep game i fold, on a £2 game though i make the call specialy in a bounty game. Correct fold though just see it too much first hand when u see  guys allin and calls with stupid range of hands even more so in a bounty game

Fluxfoxy32

I call all day long

rancid

snap call, honestly no differance than if you have 15 bigs

Can I pose the question- what if the buy-in were £75 and not £2 would all of the calling advice be the same?
