Overpairs? How do you play them in SNG's?
Hi all to start this won't be a bad beat post. Just had a situation come up that I feel I could get some feedback on.
Hero UTG+1 with JJ in a very early hand of an ultraturbo sit n go on UB. So no player reads and every one nearly same chipstacks. Blinds 15-30? Hero limps in MP raises the pot to ~ 160 BB. calls. Hero calls. Pot is ~ 490.
Flop comes 7 6 3 rainbow. BB checks
How do you play this hand with no reads.
Bet out(either small or big)?
Check to induce a bluff with the intention of raising any bet
Check and call to see if a safe turn hits?
I will post later as to how the betting transpired but was interested to see how others play this situation.
P.S. I don't usually limp with big pocket pairs in EP.

On the flop, I would make a big bet. It's a turbo SNG. Maybe $300 or more. I don't mind pushing here either.
no time to mess around with the blinds going up every 2 minutes. Push on the flop and hope for the best.
When you factor in the number or bad calls, fold equity, vs the odds of a set or bigger pair, pushing is the right play.
