i think you should muck it. Your out of position, your only going to hit the flop once in every 2-3 times. I generally give reraises plenty of respect.

Not that it matters too much, but if i want to raise preflop ill bet more than 3xBB if there are limpers in front of me

you are up against atleast one other pair, possibly another slick, If the pair is A's or kings you are basically dead. As the other slick is holding 2 of your outs. Even if you do catch against a pair you are likely splitting.

I think that at most 2 ppl are ahead of you. With the blinds being where they are, you could be up against some speculative hands, 10Js, 78s, 33, etc. I think the only hand to worry about is corescarts, if you think he doesn't have AA or KK you might think about reraising here to thin the herd. Why is he down to 740, is he playing lag? If so, you are most definitely ahead. DiDis call here smells like a marginal hand to me, if it was a big one she'd want to isolate, not call. I'd say either lay it down here or put corsecarts all in to negate his positional advantage.

Agree witht the fold. Game has just started. AK is, on it's best day, a drawing hand. The 10x is certainly classifiable as a strong overbet. I only do that early when I think some fish still has chips and a prayer when I have KK or better. Otherwise it isn't the best move to make, you do want to isolate but you want to bet so that you might get a caller and then try to take it down on the flop.

I wouldn't be shocked at either betting or calling hand if they were turned up. You can really see people pushing low pockets or middle suited connectors and way worse.

I'm either folding here or I'm pushing it in. If I get called, I figure I'm in a race to double up and put myself in good position to make the money. If I bust out, then I only wasted a short amount of time on this SNG. I really hate folding my way to gamble time and busting out in 5th or 6th as that's just a big waste of time and slightly depressing. You have a powerful hand. Good time to push and see all five cards with a chance to win a big pot. I'm not saying that I don't fold this hand plenty of times, but I'm willing to gamble with it, particularly early on when my time investment is low.

PRE-FLOP
jedburgh72 folds, DiDi21 calls $20, Texan Dave folds, spaceboy761 bets $60, KingBLUFF25 folds, Sunseeker16 calls $60, chris_liv calls $60, Hi Ho Silva folds, corescarts bets $200, dwade41 folds, DiDi21 calls $190, spaceboy761 bets $1,440 and is all-in, Sunseeker16 folds, chris_liv folds, corescarts calls $530 and is all-in, DiDi21 calls $1,170 and is all-in.

FLOP [board cards 8D,4H,JC ]


TURN [board cards 8D,4H,JC,4D ]


RIVER [board cards 8D,4H,JC,4D,KH ]


SHOWDOWN
spaceboy761 shows [ KS,AC ]
corescarts shows [ 10H,AH ]
DiDi21 shows [ JS,KD ]
spaceboy761 wins $120, DiDi21 wins $1,280, DiDi21 wins $2,360.


So it turns out I was right to push and got screwed anyway. Heads-up, slick is a coin flip, but I would have though it was much better in a multi-way pot. Busting out the 'ol odds calculator..

Me:
Win: 48.02%
Tie: 4.44%

corescarts:
Win: 25.05%
Tie: 3.92%

DiDi21:
Win: 22.49%
Tie: 0.93%
