No reads, early in a $2 SNG.

skeeter1114 raises to 550
kathy7111 raises to 1,335, and is all in
skeeter1114: great, probably KK here
skeeter1114: ???

I'm not entirely sure that he has KK here, and this being Omaha8 and a $2 SNG, he easily could have a low draw, 33, or 66 here I think. I also think the way the hand played out, he could also have KK. But, should I ever fold here? Or would a fold be only if I had a perfect read or was playing super-tight?

The rest of the hand history is below. Just hightlight area to see it.

skeeter1114 calls 755, and is all in
kathy7111 shows [Kc Jd Kh 9s]

kathy7111 shows three of a kind, Kings, for high
skeeter1114 shows three of a kind, Nines, for high
kathy7111 wins the pot (3,060) with three of a kind, Kings
skeeter1114 stands up
The blinds are now 20/40

Fold pre-

you are really just set mining and noone is deep enough for that.
Your hand has no other value. In fact, if it folded to me, I'd probably fold this hand this early in the tourney.

I don't even think I'd play this in a high only game, much less a high low game.

QQ99 sucks. Fold preflop.

If it were a cash game, it's worth open raising OTB, but that's about it.

Agreed. You have no low. Just fold it.

The best you can hope to draw here is trips or a miracle straight.

With no suited cards, and absolutely no low possibility, fold pre.

I'd say there are plenty of high only hands worth playing for a raise in position, but just not this one.

Any hand with a nine in it is usually bad. This is one of the worst ones - it has two of them!
