Default Re: Best way to play a BB special?

It would depend on how many saw the flop. If it was you and one other, unless you flopped top two or top and bottom, you may want to take it easy.

Also it would depend on the kind of draw's possible.

When its still early in the tournament, bet it big, pot size depending on the pot. If a lot of players saw it and you bet pot, it'll look like a steal attempt and you probably WILL get called down.

If its short handed, try to check raise the flop, if you can't then bet the turn big.

The probability of a flopped two pair being out drawn by a bigger two pair is very low. I think you're just getting unlucky [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] If someone has big cards that the overcard to your two pair presents the possibility of something like KT or KQ or KJ and the person limped, its their mistake.

I don't think theres anything you can do other then adjust your aggressivness depending upon players-to-see the flop.

If the small blind completes, he may be your biggest threat because he may have decided to complete with 96o in one of those "what the hell" scenarios when he doesn't suspect the BB of a raise.
