    Call/Fold/Squeeze? $26 90man

    Well my exams aren't quite over...but my self ban ended today!

    Had this hand which i wasn't too sure on. No real reads though:

    Blinds 80/160
    UTG: t6200 M = 25.83
    UTG+1: t7770 M = 32.38
    UTG+2: t5715 M = 23.81
    MP1: t4615 M = 19.23
    MP2: t3500 M = 14.58
    CO: t5230 M = 21.79
    BTN: t8485 M = 35.35
    Hero (SB): t3600 M = 15
    BB: t5760 M = 24

    Pre Flop: (t240) Hero is SB with
    4 folds, MP2 raises to t320, CO calls t320, BTN calls t320, Hero -

    Never call this hand. I would default to fold and squeeze very occassionally.

    Personally, I think calling here is the best play. It is 240 more into a pot of already 1200 (already getting 5 to 1), and all players in the pot have a big enough stack to make it worthwhile if we bink. Even if we whiff, we still have more than 20 BBs, so the hit to our stack is minimal.

    If we had T9s or 89s, I would lean more towards a jam. 45s just doesnt play as well vs. those mid pairs that show up a lot of the time.
    beating the RNG one MTT at a time

    This.

    JT/T9s gets jammed. Would possibly just fold here but a call isn't bad.

    I agree here, with him agreeing with him. As long as the BB calls as well. I wouldn't pursue anything other than a straight flush draw or FH/trips.

    If i am on that situation, i would call.

    It's best to fold than to call.

    You're getting decent odds to call to see a flop. I'd pretty much never squeeze here in these $26 90 sngs on full tilt, just because people don't seem to like folding much here as they seem to way over value the knock out bounty and you're hand doesn't play well enough against some of the medium pairs that show up alot here when to you get called

    To those saying call what are we (realistically) expecting to flop that would be worthwhile flopping multiway?

    This hand is going to flop a lot at best (realistically) bottom 2pair, the dumb end of straights/draws, low flushes/draws and trips with no kicker. Considering I would not put it past cold callers to be have holdings like A4/A5 here I really don't see how playing this OOP is going to profitable even with the price being offered here.
