Title: Speed SnG Post by: Tuffster on May 02, 2008, 08:26:18 PM 10 seater, 8 remaining. Blinds 50/100 no running ante.
3 Folds to me in with 9h 9s , raise to 500 (as 3xraises get called multi-way) , all fold to the SB who calls, BB folds. Flop: Qc 6h 5d SB checks, I bet 750, SB calls. (Pot 1850) Turn: 7h SB checks again, I'm not putting him on a Q as I reckon he would have re-raised me on the flop (unless he'd hit a set, more than happy to stack to him if he has). Now worried about the straightening and flushing cards so put him all-in for 2100 (i've got 750 left). He calls, flips over Ahrt 3c and promptly rivers an Ad. Now, I know this sounds like a bad-beat story, but I'm happy he called me here with one overcard and a gut-shot. The out-draw is just Poker My question is, do you think I could have played it better? Did the 5x raise just increase the pot size and make it too attractive for my opponent. Should I just have potted it on the turn to get him to fold. Or should I have just limped and sacrificed a calf to the Poker Gods for my set??? Any advice/insults/cries of DONKEY greatly appreciated! Cheers It was only a 50p SnG so really not bothered as I knew my opponents would probably be a bit fishy, just a bit of fun before Friday night beerage!

He obviously shouldn't have called the all in, but he did (probs cos its a 50p sng). ul Title: Re: Speed SnG Post by: bolt pp on May 02, 2008, 10:42:13 PM Now, I know this sounds like a bad-beat story It's fitting that it was a 50p stt PAY UP!!!!!

I make it 250 to go here (though stack sizes are important) and play from there. The reason for making it so relatively small is im happy to play post flop while not having a big pot, allowing me to cbet loads of flops. Also its a cheap way to steal. As played cbetting the flop is fine but i check behind the turn normally and then reasses the river. If you could elaborate on the stack sizes that would be good as alot of the decision post flop are dependent on this. For example if you are less than 12bb deep i would just shove 99 preflop. |
