was I wrong in making this call??

[garrehz]

flush and straight draw. maybe it was too early in the SnG to be so risky?

Standard.

Flush + OESD + $2.20 = Call all day long

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Any Ace, hit your flush or ur straight and ur good, u fold that and you are rather silly.

Cheers guys, I was a little down after gettin smashed so early in it. Like should I be playing tighter in the early stages? I find myself playing fairly aggressive and not really changing gears. I keep running fairly deep but only 1 min cash so far. So what's your guys idea? Tight or loose early / mid. And I'm pretty sure end game is aggressive? As the bubble is the best place to accumulate chips?

Its a fold pre (dont open limp hands as weak as A7s UTG+1 pls), but as played its fine.

You should be playing very, very tight early on in a SnG and gradually open up as you get closer to the bubble.

Should really be folding A-7 at this stage and in early position.

However, as has been mentioned, once you flop such a huge draw you should be happy to get all of your chips in.

Instacall ur getting like 1.5-1 and you're fav against anything but a set and almost flipping with even a set
