WARNING! WARNING! THIS POST IS NOT ABOUT NLHE! WARNING!
Specifically a Stud Hi/Lo SNG, but the concept applies to any limit game.
Bubble of a sit and go
Hero: t700
Big Stack: t 2100
Middle Stack: t1000
Second Stack: t1800
Antes are 25 Bring in 50. Limits 200/400.
Since many of you are unfamiliar with the game, I will not give specific cards, only what the situation is.
SS brings in, folded to Hero who finds a hand he is willing to go all the way with and completes. SS calls, likely just defending his bring in. Villian catches bad on fourth street, and hero stays in the lead.
At this point hero has Approx. t550-575
Do you A: Bet fourth street, and probably get called. Then put another same size bet in to go all in on fifth which will also get called. A situation where the villian is making a mistake to call, but puts you at risk for elimintation.
Or B: Check fourth to make a large bet, both in size and in comparison to the pot to maximize your fold equity.
The call A is bad for villian, but worse for us, but B risks villian making a hand that beats us for free, (or at least takes half the pot in split).
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm sorry the post is hard to read, my thoughts are jumbled right now.
