This is the heads-up of a 9-player €2 SNG. My opponent was very tight till the heads up. Maybe ~20 vpip. Then after a few rounds of folding around, he shoves 3 times in a row. We have equal stacks. Next hand comes.

Blinds are 200/400 with like 75 ante.

I am small blind, got Jh8h. Open raise to 800.

He went all-in.

I called.

He shows AcKc.

Flop comes with two hearts, flush draw and godshot straight draw for me. I won on the river with a flush.

Was it a good play from my part or should I have folded?

There's no idea of stack sizes so it's really hard to say what you should do.

Generally speaking, J8s is a fold to a shove, it's okay to shove the hand yourself as you have FQ, but to call a shove it's generally not good because you'll always behind.

vs villain tight? pff is a very easy fold preflop, your hand is good to call one raise, but allin not beacuse you are losing vs Qxx

GL!

I went down from 9k to 7k because of the prev allins, then we arrived to this hand, he had 6.5k chips. So I had to assume he just started to steal with these shoves. What's the odds of hitting that tight range three times in a row? 10%? Sounds like a huge bluff. He might just got lucky with AKs and would have shoved with anything. J8s is a shit hand, but at that point I thought it has a coinflip equity against the complete range and +EV just because I've already put chips in.
