Push on the turn?
$5 + .50 NL SnG, still on the first level (blinds 10/20). I have T720 in BB, Button has T680.
Preflop: Two MP limpers, Button min raises to 40, SB folds, I reraise to 100 with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], limpers fold, Button calls. I have no read on the Button. Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I bet 200 into a 250 pot, Button calls. Turn: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. All-in here or does anyone slow down? My analysis and results to follow. |

Re: Push on the turn?
This is the problem with starting with t800.
You almost have to push here. If you slow down and he bets - do you fold? If not any bet you make leaves your extremely short stacked? What could he have - Trips? A4? I'd find hard pressed to think he played an inside straight draw for that many chips. I'm guessing he has A with a weaker kicker and you win. |

Push, its not close. If you lose to a 2-pair or straight say nice hand and move on.

Results
Thanks for the feedback.
With only a little hesitation, I pushed. Given his previous calls in the hand, I thought top pair smaller kicker was much more likely than a set or a straight. I expect a set to at least min raise me on the flop, and a straight draw is unlikely to call my flop bet. He called with 67o and I was out in 10th. I actually laughed when I saw what he had, and then joined the next tournament. Only later did I question if I was giving too much credit to his range of hands, given that it was early in a $5 tournament. Thus the reason for my post. But I realize that this is exactly the kind of opponent I want in my game. |

Re: Results
Raising UTG and then calling a re-raise with 67o? And then he calls 50% of his stack on a gutshot straight draw?
I hope you made a note of his player name and join all his SnGs. |
