That tuna thought he got it with runner runner two pair! And the other one thought he had it with second pair, top kicker. I thought I might be making a crying call to a flopped straight. I wonder if they both would have called a fourth bet.
I think if you can play better than most Party players on all streets the limit sit and gos can be very juicy.

Peace.

I am slumping at NLH SnGs but I don't have 3 hours for a limit tourney.

I hear what you're saying. But I don't normally play any limit tournaments, and I've played three limit 10+1's on Party in the last two days and came in first all three. On the last one the limits were 400/800 by the time we were done with heads up, so they don't move as slow as you might think.

I feel that No Limit is my best game, and my strategy for limit is very unsophisticated. I just feel that the limit players on Party are very weak. People who cold call with trash win small pots because you can get away from the hand, or pay it off for cheap, and you live to fight another day.

So far it works for me. Maybe it can be a nice change of pace for some people who are running bad to pull out of it.

You left money on the table here.

MP3 has not flopped a straight, he raised PF and it was not with 86s. The K likely improves his hand, which leaves you fearing only KK, and he should be playing that faster on a flop like this. MP1 bets out but never re-raised the Turn or River. He does not have a straight either.

You are ahead here close to 100% of the time, and with 2 opponents you should be capping the River for value, even as a 40% favourite. Rest of the hand looks fine.
