Speed SnG

[Tuffster]

10 seater, 8 remaining. Blinds 50/100 no running ante.

3 Folds to me in with , raise to 500 (as 3xraises get called multi-way) , all fold to the SB who calls, BB folds.

Flop:     

SB checks,  I bet 750, SB calls. (Pot 1850)

Turn: 

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    and promptly rivers an .

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!

Played it fine.

He obviously shouldn't have called the all in, but he did (probs cos its a 50p sng).

Right i would temper my advice with the fact that i play mid stakes sngs and therefore have a load more of fold equity preflop than you probably do here.

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.
