Fairly early in a sitngo NL holdem tourney.
I'm doing this from memory, I'll do my best on chip amounts.
Blinds 20-40
SB stack is about 2100, mine is about 900.
One MP limper, I limped from the button.
The SB raises to about 160, BB folds, MP folds.
SB has shown some pretty bad hands and has raised quite a bit.
I call thinking that I can easily double up if I catch a set.
Flop is 982, rainbow. He quickly bets out about 420.
I think he has overcards and is trying to pick up the pot.
Obviously my 750 or so raise is not gonna get em out of the pot, but a call is over half my stack. I think I have the best hand, so I can't fold.
I raised all-in, he showed AJ. Bad news is board comes T, Q, and he makes a straight.
Two questions:
Should I have let this hand go before the flop?
What should I have done on the flop, when faced with the 420 bet?
Thanks for your input!
