$30+$3 Limit Hold'em SNG HU Hand

[Warik]

I mentioned this hand to another 2+2'er via PM and he said I should have probably played it differently. Could I please have some opinions?

Thank you. (Note: I'm not sure why it says that I am the SB... I paid the BB. I'd never complete with 56o /images/graemlins/smile.gif)

Hi Warik,

I'd have check-raised him all-in at the flop. You have two pair, but it's 2nd and 3rd pair. If he has Jx, or an overpair, you want to make him risk his entire stack to draw to the counterfeit two pair.

If I did have two-pair, I'd definitely check-raise the flop... but I don't have that. I have an OESD facing a possible diamond flush draw. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
