Yeah, yeah it's just a $5 SNG but this hand....

[boondockst]

(SB is all in on this hand)

Pot is t445

So i have 1325 left and Button has 860. If i push, I'm only called by the A /images/graemlins/spade.gif or two pair...i pushed and Button had the A /images/graemlins/spade.gif and it hit but is it the right move in a low-level SNG where i can probably outplay them on other pots?

Do you like getting your money in as a 70 % favorite?

I do.

[Oluwafemi]

there are seven other spades in the deck. you're forgetting about someone with a Kx /images/graemlins/spade.gif or Qx /images/graemlins/spade.gif holding, both of which you end up drawing dead.

[NYCNative]

You only have 4BB if you fold and don't put another dime in the pot and you flopped a flush. You have to push.

EDIT: Okay, you have more than that, I put your stack as someone elses. I still push it. It's unlikely you're drawing dead and an all-in is making a draw the wrong move.

You're joking around, right? You aren't really advocating he fold a flopped flush, are you?

[pergesu]

Don't fold this. Ever.

If you insist on folding, we'll have to play heads up next time I'm at Muckleshoot /images/graemlins/smile.gif

i'm not commenting on what i would advocate. he said if he pushes, he only getting called by an A /images/graemlins/spade.gif or two pair, which is untrue. on a flopped flush, you can't rule out Kx /images/graemlins/spade.gif either. [cancel out Qx /images/graemlins/spade.gif with Queen on the flop].

ex. if he's up against K 10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif on that flop, he has now gone from a powerful favorite to an overwhelming 99.9% underdog. even with K 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif, he's still a 99.7% underdog with a .3% chance to win.

Edit: Ignore what I posted, I thought we were against the big stack.

I dont see how you can possibly fold this hand. This is pretty much the best flop you can hope for, get all your money in knowing your either a huge favorite (most of the time), a big favorite (70%ish if villain has A /images/graemlins/spade.gif or K /images/graemlins/spade.gif), or a huge dog (very unlikely). Especially at a $5+1 where the majority of the time you are going to get action from the first two types of hands, this is an ideal spot to be in.

[treeofwisdom7]

dude are you really playing the 5+1 sit n gos.. wow try out pokerstars or ub its a little cheaper.. i dont know how you can make money at that buy in..

[boondockst]

It's just what i play when the NL25 and 1/2 6max gets tough...Yes the fee sucks, but the rakeback helps a little bit..Nothing like hitting 2nd in a few $5 SNGs and realizing you're up two bucks.

[valenzuela]

let me teach u something , rakeback helps even more in the 11s. edit: no it doesnt duh, anyway move up
