In low-stakes SnG's, the only hand here you have to worry about here is QJ, which is possible, but I doubt you know your player well enough to make that read. I'd probably go broke here the same as you, but you still have outs vs QJ.

No I don't fold this one.

I start another one if I lose though. Smile

You'd think that QJ is the only hand to fear. I'd make the call. However....

In a very similar hand last night I had QQ raised preflop two callers. Flop comes KQx (two suited cards) I check and get a bet that smells like TP ...I reraise to cut off the flush chaser, he is all in, I call with a smile on my face and he flips KK.

I ran into donks slow playing AA and KK several times last night. I know its the wrong play but it killed me at least 3 times yesterday. Still had an up day but if not for those 3 hands would have been a much better day.
