all ins with 4 left
Hi all
first post here. I have read through the forum a bit. I am playing low buy-in SNG tourneys at Stars ($10 - $30). I am having a bit of a problem, which is exemplified by the hand I just came from. 4 left, player X has 7500 stack, I have 3200. Blinds are 75/150. I get QQ on the button. Player X flat calls UTG. I raise to 600, X calls, others drop Flop 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Player X bets 300. Now... I have been losing a hell of a lot of money by going all in here. I only do this when I feel I have a decent read on my opponent. The trouble is that 1) I think I have a distorted view of how far ahead I am in this situation and 2) I think that optimal sng play must be different than optimal ring game play in this situation, given a variety of hands that my opponent could have. What is your move here, if you thought that your opponent does not have a higher pp than QQ? Needless to say, I go all in, he calls, the turn brings a 6 and he eventually shows me A6. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I do understand that if I get my money in with by far the best of it and lose, that is just the game. What I want to know is this. When there are 4 left, will players always just call here and if the board pairs on the turn, they can get away from the hand? I feel I have a bit of a ring-player mentality, and that I need to make 100% sure I get that third place under my belt before going all in when I think I have the best of it at that moment. Any help with this SNG finesse would be appreciated. sng |
