Re: 109s - A9 Hand
How come you don't like having chips early in a SNG?
Preflop raise sucks, but whatever.
Flop bet would be fine if there was a chance you had any of it (or actually did)... but when you get caught with your pants down, this isn't the right flop for a c-bet to have any chance.
Turn is as bad as I've ever seen you play... you have to rate to see his last 700 chips here over 90% of the time.
Pattern Recognition Tip:
If a shortish stack cold-calls the big stack's preflop raise, he rates to have a hand that he thinks he can trap with. If he had big cards or a big pair, he would want to get 'em in as soon as possible. So, this preflop action is small pairs, connectors, and suits a LOT of the time. Unless he has 9-10c, this board hit him and he's trying to milk you.
That's how you know to give up on the turn.
