88 Early in a 20+2

[Dan Rutter]

This is the second hand of the tourney. Stacks all equal for players involved. MP player limps for $20, I limp with 8c 8d, folded to the BB who checks.

Flop: 6h 8s 2s

Both players check to me, I bet $50 into the $70 pot.

BB folds, MP limper calls.

Turn: 4s

He checks to me. Should I bet, and how much if I should bet. Pot is $170. If he check-raises me, and bets enough to give me too bad of pot odds and implied odds for my full or 4 of a kind is this an easy and clear fold?

[Taraz]

I would bet around $110-140 on the turn. If you get check-raised and you don't have odds to call I would seriously consider folding if that would leave me with a stack that I feel comfortable with.

The scary thing is that the turn could have made a straight or a flush. But people call the flop with practically nothing when it's still early in the sng and pot sized bets are less than 100 chips. Just because they called doesn't mean they had a good draw so see where you're at.
