This move is mentioned in Sklansky's HEPFAP. That is, betting into a pottential made flush draw. The idea is that if you're reraised, you can safely fold because when you bet it is "just as scary" for your opponent if he has not made a flush.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (8 handed)
Hero (t785)
UTG (t800)
UTG+1 (t800)
MP1 (t1795)
MP2 (t770)
CO (t755)
Button (t1510)
SB (t785)
Preflop: Hero is BB with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO calls t15, Button calls t15, SB completes, Hero checks.
Flop: (t60) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets t60</font>, CO calls t60, Button folds, SB folds.
Turn: (t180) 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets t60</font>, <font color="CC3333">CO raises to t375</font>, Hero folds.
Final Pot: t615
<font color="green">Main Pot: t300 (t300), won by CO.</font>
<font color="green">Pot 2: t315 (t315), returned to CO.</font>
Results in white below: <font color="white">
No showdown. CO wins t615. </font>
My question is: Is this a good move in a no-limit SNG? Also, what would be a decent raise? I raised 1/3 pot, comments?
