I recently started playing 5+.5 SNGs and have had great success so far (only off the money once in 16 SNGs, but i dont expect that to last much longer). In a hand from yesterday the following happened

50/100 blinds

Me 3300 [KQo]
Bigstack 7900
Villain 3800

Villain calls, i raise 400, Bigstack folds, Villain raise allin.

My read on him was a PP lower than Queens. What line should i take here? If i lose i finish 3:rd and collect $10. If i call his allin and win i will be headsup with Mr Bigstack who i am fairly sure i can beat and even if i lose headsup i collect $15. On the other hand blinds are relatively low and i dont have to panic, usually i rather be the pusher than the caller.

If my read is correct i am about 45/55 underdog. In the heat of the battle i did a quick calculation off my head, something like

EV-win = 0.45*$15 = $6.75
EV-lose = 0.55*$10 = $5.5

so i called...

Was that a correct push or should i wait for a better situation, if so, what is a better situation?
Is that a correct way to calc EV when in the money?

You pushed... or you called an all-in? I wouldn't call an all-in with K-high given those stacks. If he has A-high you're either dominated (win ~30%) or behind (win ~35-40%), and if he has a lower pocket pair, you'll only win 45% of the time. The blinds are really small compared to stacks at the moment, so I'd wait a bit more.

Always remember: it takes a stronger hand to call an all-in than to push all-in.

Sorry...i called the all-in, post edited.

Very easy fold. I like the raise but when he oushes you need to dump it quickly. Even if your read is right you're behind and with only 10% invested and a pretty decent stack, I am NOT hoping to be in on the wrong side of a coinflip for all my money.

Thank you for the replies, this forum is great

Point taken...why risk it when i am the underdog, especially given the stack sizes and blinds. I have obviously been running hot since i started my SNG-project so i tried this as a way to improve my no1 finishes (got a bit eager).

By the way, villain flipped over TT so at least my reads are improving
