The following is from a multi-table tournament, but I'm posting here because I think this type of decision comes up much more frequently in a SNG.
Hero (BB) has 763k
Button/SB has 220k
The SB had not been particularly aggressive preflop short-handed or heads-up, but I believe he had often tried to steal post-flop with small bets.
Blinds 20k-40k
Hero: Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif J/images/graemlins/heart.gif
Preflop:
SB min-raises to 80k. Hero calls.
Flop (160k): Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif J/images/graemlins/spade.gif
Hero checks. SB checks.
Turn (160k): J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Hero checks. SB checks.
River (160k): 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif
Hero bets 160k. SB calls 140k, all-in.
Results in white:
<font color="white">SB has As 3h, two pair with ace kicker. Hero wins 440k with queens full of jacks.</font>
Of course, I was happy to get that flop, and for my pot-sized river bet to get called. Should I have bet earlier? Should I have bet less on the river?
