I am a limit SNG player who is now, thanks to the 2+2 crew, hooked on NL SNGs. Please educate me. Thanks.
$5+.50 NL SNG (level V 75/150)
Five remaining.
Button (T3035) is loose, and likes to hassle the blinds.
SB (T4080) seems typical. Chip leader.
Hero is BB (T1940)
Hero: 89o
Button raises to T300, SB calls, Hero calls
Am I too loose here? Blinds go up in 2 min., and I'm trying to make something happen, and, hey, I'm getting 5:1.
Pot: T975
Flop: [K 6 7] two suited.
SB checks, Hero bets T150, SB Calls
A wimpy, "limit geek" bet? I like the OE nut draw. Are they overrated?
Pot: T1275
Turn: [K67] [8] rainbow
SB bets T300, Hero calls
What does he have that the 8 helps? Str8? Kings up?
(A8)8? Is he slow-playing a set? Why only T300? Weak bluff?
Help the limit guy out here. I'm thinking that another 8 may not help me, but I've probably got 8 good outs. And, hey, I'm getting 5:1.
Pot: T1875
River: [k67] [8] [9] no flush
SB bets T450, Hero folds??
Great. Two pair, but I believe I'm looking at Kings up or a str8? T450 is over half my remaining stack, but, hey, I'm getting 5:1. So much for creeping commitment.
As I said, please educate me.
