Super Qualifier NL $20+2 SnG. 1st place: $150 entry fee which is most of the prize money, so finishing 1st is the only goal.
6 players left, $50/$100 blinds. Big stack has maybe $2500.
Loose player in EP (stack = 1400) raises $100, Big stack folds, I call with pocket 9h9s (stack = 1100), 1 fold, loose SB (stack = 700) calls, big blind folds.
Pot=$350
Flop is scary Q 9 4, all clubs, but giving me a set of 9s.
SB bets $100,
EP calls,
I raise to $350,
both call.
Pot=$1400
Turn is 2 of spades.
SB checks,
EP checks,
I bet $400, both call.
Pot=$2600
River is a brick.
SB checks,
BB checks,
I'm all in...
In an SnG, mid levels, with only 2 players in the pot besides me, I would never credit my opponents for flopping a flush and I would gladly call an all in on the flop.
I was a little confused by my opponents both calling my flop raise. Hence, my turn bet which may be foolish, since it (almost) gives my opponents odds to call (and good implied odds) if they're on a flush draw. But I was trying to extract the most from my opponents and at the same time I was a bit worried somebody did have the flush.
Anyhoo, what would you do on the flop and turn?
Please avoid replying with only a discussion on the pre-flop play or I will burn your house down, kick your dog, insult your wife and rip out the starting hands recommendations page from your SSH book.
