This is from a SnG 2-table Nolimit Holdem tournament at Pacific buyin $8.
Players, Hero ($3371), P1 ($5724), P2 ($6905). Blinds are 300/600.
Hero is in BB, P2 SB.
Hold cards: Ah 9c
P1 folds, P2 completes, P1 checks.
Flop: 5h 6h 10h
P2 bets 600, Hero calls
Turn: 10s
P2 bets 600, Hero calls
River: 10c
P2 bets 600, Hero folds
First, should I have raised my hand pre-flop? I'm poor at shorthanded play.
Second, on the flop I figure I am one card away from top flush. I think I can't afford to lose this hand. I have only got $2771 which is not even 5BB. The others are better off, I need this one.
Second, the fold. P2 bets consistently 600, but is in shape to bluff. After 3 Ts show up... could I have won by kicker? I won't know.
Incidentally after this hand it's downhill, and I am knocked out shortly afterwards. On the plus side, I still make a nice profit.
What would you have done?
