Edit: Didn't see the flush draw. Played well.

I might try a min-blocking bet on the turn of t15. As it is, you don't have enough outs to call on the turn based on that pot size.

[kgrad5]

pot size is 345 and its 70 for me to call on the turn with 9 spade outs one 7 out and perhaps two 5 outs (not full outs however).. i think i have more than enough odds to call there but i may be wrong?

[Insomnia]

I would fold this preflop. In the first levels I wont play any trash hands even if im getting good odds, because losign chips early on really hurts your play later on. Also you cant think your winning on the flop, if i did call preflop i would fold on that flop, even though its only a minimum bet. You also have to realize that our flush draw may be lower than another players, and you are essentially dead if you hit.

[tshort]

I don't believe all of Harrington's concepts apply to $11 SNGs on Party Poker. I would fold this preflop in an $11 SNG, although I understand your odds argument. If you fold, you have an extra 100 chips for when you need to push.

I basically hate playing weak draws like early in a party sng. I'd rather use these chips to pump my strong hands, or to start stealing blinds starting in level 3. Most pots you play in level 1-3 should be in late position, and when you open the pot (except for small-mid pairs in level 1). The obvious exception are the premium hands that play well in any position. I like to use the chips to try to win opened pots, not pots that we have a 20% chance of winning.

I think I would fold this preflop as my position is bad and I'm not closing the action, but flop is good and turn isn't terrible. Better than if there were two flush cards on the flop and a blank on the turn.
I think I fold the turn though as it will be hard to get paid off on the river since you have to act early & also since you aren't drawing to anywhere near the nuts. also your outs to the two pair and even the set have to be discounted somewhat, as someone may have a better two pair or a straight.

[skierdude1000]

Your postflop play is perfect, but I wouldn't have gotten into this: fold it preflop, especially not with a raise.

[curtains]

Folding preflop is more a matter of style here than the clearly correct play. It's fine to call, its fine to fold. Postflop everything was fine too.
