for me this is a fold. with them both calling the pre-flop raise and then someone calling the all in. one of them must have atleast 2 pair.

In a $4 tourn you are probably up against AK and JT. I call just for the sheer curiosity of it here! :D

I'd say two pairs is probably the best case scenario - one has got to have at least a set or a str8, surely?  You don't want to be calling there against one player, nevermind two.  In a cash game, might be different (according to the pot and stack sizes) - against one player and you 'knew' he had two pair - you're a 40/60 underdog.  But in a tournament it's an easy decision for me really.

Fold.

Insta call

You're beating AK, AQ, AJ, KT and JT, you dont have a hope against a set but both have flat called your pre flop raise.  If anyone has a set I think it would be JJ, theyd probs raise/re-raise with QQ or KK.

I think the pusher has AK and the caller has KQ/KJ.  Id call against 1 pusher but not against the push and the call, I think you have to fold here.

pusher flipped over AQ as I suspected and caller flipped over K9

I made a good insta call then :D

Insta call? i assume you're joking. 2 people all in.

A 10, KQ, KJ, QJ, 9 10 (possibly not), JJ, QQ (possibly not). All hands one of them at least would surely usuaully have.

Easy fold me here, i agree with Boldie.

No i just looked at the title, $4 SNG i am not expecting stellar play from my oppo's

in a 4$ sng on stars fishy flush is right

instant call

JJ QQ KK would all have reraised preflop
you ore likey to be against a pair with an ace kicker or pair of tens (although often they would reraise with any pp preflop)

Instant call
