Folded a flush draw- right play, or am I an idiot?

[wayabvpar]

Late 2+2 SnG last night. Blinds are 10/20 (it is early). UTG (t1500) limps. Folded around to me on the button, and I limp with T /images/graemlins/heart.gif 7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif (my stack is t1810). SB (t780) completes, and BB (t1480) checks.

Limp here? Raise to try to steal?

Flop- K /images/graemlins/heart.gif Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif 6 /images/graemlins/club.gif

Not a bad flop for me at all. SB bets 80, BB calls, UTG folds, and I call.

Raise here? Fold? Is the call here ok?

Turn- T /images/graemlins/club.gif

Hmm. Crappy third pair with a bad kicker, and 1 of two flush draws.

SB bets 300, BB calls. I agonize for a minute or 2 and fold. My thinking is that one of these two is on the same heart draw, and I haven't seen the A or J yet.

River- A /images/graemlins/heart.gif

Bugger.

Misplayed? Good fold? Anyone put SB and BB on hands?

I have very mixed feelings about this hand, so I wanted to solicit some opinions. Thanks!

Why are you playing this hand then if your gonna fold it in this situation?

[TheGrifter]

I would've folded it on the flop. Then, failing that, I would have folded it on the turn.

I don't have a big problem with the flop call since a couple of big hearts are gone, but as you noted you could still be up against a bigger flush draw and you'd end up paying big if you both hit.

Wait for a more profitable situation than T7s even though you're on the button. There's only 1 limper in - you're not gonna make much on this hand - you want many people in with flush draw hands.

You pissed away 100 chips on a hand that you were never sure where you were and even if it got there you couldn't be positive where you were.

Pass.

I think you played the hand fine.

Sorry, I couldn't resist that. I actually played this hand a lot different than I usually would. I of course had KJ and flopped top pair, not crazy about the kicker but the way the hand played was reasonably sure I had the best hand.

In situations like this I normally would raise the SB on the flop to take control of the hand. So in retrospect, by my playing the hand poorly, I think I threw you off.

But I do agree with others and am not crazy about playing the 10,7s. I generally will only play suited cards that are either connected, have an ace or occasionally a one gap. If I make a flush, I want to be sure it's good. I'm willing to give this up with the suited connectors because now I've got the stright possibilties too.

The resident maniac reporting.

Preflop is probably a fold. Actually, there is little reason to limp here. But lets forget about that.

On the flop, I raise. Probably to about T175. I figure I am at least a coinflip in this hand (if I see it to the river), and there is also a chance I can push my opponents off of a queen, or even a king crap kicker. On the turn, I check behind.

Any resistance of course (a reraise, or a turn bet), I fold pissed off.

I feel like this is the cheapest way I can see the river.

Heh of course you did! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

My thinking for playing T7s on the button- UTG had limped, which protects me from a raise from one of the blinds much of the time. I thought I could take a look and see if I flop a monster and really get my stack in good shape early.

Once two of the 4 hearts that beat me hit, I thought it was worth a look on the turn for a relatively low price. The miss on the turn coupled with the steep bet from the SB chased me out.

Perhaps a raise on the flop? this may have bought me a free card on the turn, which would have made my hand.

I think T-7ss is complete crap unless you are in from the blinds. I don't think I would even call from the SB with it.

Then you call a pot sized bet on the flop, do you really think you opponent is bad enough to pay you off if another heart hits?

On the turn, you have a pair and a flush draw, this is pretty stong hand unless you think you are up against a made straight, two pair, or a set. Now you are faced with another pot sized bet, and you have 14 outs - agin you arent getting the odds unless you think you will get paid off if you hit the best hand. I think these are just trouble hands in tournaments - why play it in the first place?
