100 SNG. Opponent is solid. Blinds 200/400. I have 6000, villain has 4000. Opponent raises to 1200.
I have K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif and call.
Flop: Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif Q /images/graemlins/club.gif.
I check, opponent checks.
Turn: 4 /images/graemlins/club.gif.
I bet 1250. Opponent raises all-in. I call.
Standard?

I would most likely push that flop. If I am way off here I do not mind being corrected.

Depends on your experience with this opponent. This line will often be good, but there are no guarantees.

I'd push the flop, but your line might be better against an aggressive opponent (I assume you planned on a check-raise).
I have a feeling you're screwed here, but I think you have to call.

The answer to this question depends on so many factors, and it's hard to just answer in a vacuum. Factors such as how tricky the opponent is, will they automatically bet flop after you check, how often they raise preflop and etc are very important here.

Ok. I'd been raising a lot once we got inside the bubble. I sensed that villain could be getting frustrated. He wasn't overly aggressive, but he wasn't passive either. Also, he was intelligent and I figured my clop check and my half pot bet on the flop could be easily conceived as weakness.
One problem with I have with my play is that there are no good cards to come on the turn (aside from a 4, 3, or 2). I think I just got very lucky that it was an under. I almost think I need to bet this flop, but if it's raised right there I have to let it go. The good thing is that my line makes a lot of other hands like A high think they're good.
We'd been heads up for three hands and the first two hands I raised 2.5x the BB with TT and then QQ and he folded both times.
Any thoughts from anyone else? I'll give results in an hour or so.

Haha. He had Q4 with no help on the river.
