Opinons Please - Hand History

[pratt]

This is from a SnG that I played earlier on Poker Stars that I actually ended up winning, but this hand bothered me. Were my raises OK? Should I have folded after the check-raise? Once I called the check-raise should I have bet it out?

Bet larger on the flop. If he has a king or draw, you get paid off, otherwise you don't, so no point in betting small. (If the flop was Jxx, there'd be a point).

The checkraise on the turn is very suspicious looking. Not sure I can stomach a fold though. Probably play it the same way you did.

When he check-raised I put him on A-Q, so I probally should have folded, but he could have been on a flush draw. When the Q came up on the river and he threw in T500 I figured he at least had an A.

This is a tough one you've flopped a set, did you get as unlucky as possible and are up against A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]?

The flop bet is too small. Even for the set. Pot it. With the flush and straight draws it's time to take this pot down and make someone draw for all of their chips. Villian keeps putting the presure on you. You need to make him make a tough decision.

Has this guy been playing really loose? I think the best course of action might have been a re-raise preflop. Not something I would normally do with Jacks. But it would have defined his hand better if he was just a loose opener.

I would have let it go after the check raise. Even if he doesn't have it, things have gotten too scary. There are better spots to hit a hand. If you just got outplayed, you just got outplayed.
