Re: Jacks
Looks good to me. If it were heads-up, I'd be inclined to occasionally play on (if the player is capable of making a move without an ace), but the 3rd player makes the decision easy.

Re: J9s from BB misplayed
Why is betting the flop better than check-calling in this spot? Chances of winning immediately are nearly nil in this 5-way pot. With no pre-flop raise you don't know where the aggression (if any)...

Re: The Flop
I dump it now. Your draw isn't to the nuts, and TT/AJ are both possibilities. Too much chance of drawing dead for me.

Re: Help with this SNG hand
I don't think there's too much you can do differently here. A slightly smaller flop bet (250 or so) would likely accomplish the same thing as 350 and save you a few chips when you are beat. Once...

Re: 1st Vegas NL tournament
1. You didn't mention the blinds at this point, but I'm guessing the pot couldn't have been more than 400 or so, making his 1000 bet a huge overbet. I fold quickly in this spot, unless it's a...

Re: Was I wrong to slow play this?
I actually like the flat call on the flop, particularly against an aggressive opponent who may take a shot at the pot here with middle pair or less. This gives him an opportunity to take a second...
