Re: 200 SNG hand
 

As I said in my other post, I think you can safely put him off a flush draw a large percentage of the time if you overbet the pot on the flop. Also, I think you have to push on the turn, because he would be absolutely correct to bet the river if you check to him twice.

And it has to be a push, because the pot will always be at least half your stack by the turn, and obviously you shouldn't bet half your stack.

Re: 200 SNG hand
 

If I am the button (and a reasonable player), then I either have a fush draw or 55. I would raise on the flop with a J, especially since if I call your bet any flush draw is now getting proper odds. Anything else I would have raised PF or folded in a 5-way hand on the flop.

If I had the flush draw then the turn completed it, and if I have the 55 then all that I care is that the turn card was low.

I may be giving the button too much credit here, but I don't think you have the best hand on the turn here. It was a rather strange bet on the river, but I still don't think you can call it.

Re: 200 SNG hand
 

if he is a reasonable player he can only really call on the flop with a J or a draw or a pair higher than Jacks hoping you are betting a smaller pair. on teh turn i would at least make a bet so that you dont have these lingering doubts, since it is tough to see him raising you in that spot without a hand that beats you.
