Down to 5 in $1 SNG, fold top pair?
Start with 2k chips, 9 players, top 3 itm
50-100 blinds Hero is BB with 1600 chips and {Ks, 8c) UTG folds (4000 chips) UTG+1 limps (1800 chips, no read as he's been disconnected the whole game) Button folds (2100 chips) SB limps (extremely loose, calling station, has about 9000 chips) HERO checks Flop: Kd 2s 9d Pot size: 300 SB bets 100 Hero min-raises to 200 UTG+1 folds SB calls Turn: Ac Pot size: 70 SB checks HERO bets 400 SB calls River: 6d Pot size: 1500 SB pushes allin (has me way covered, I have 1000 chips left) HERO folds Was my play right here? I figured I was behind to an ace, a flush, two pair, or a higher kicker king I bet the turn to see if I could scare him off, but forgot you can't bluff a calling station

You turbomuck here once you're at the river, but there's no way I'm ever seeing this river.
Raise to t300 on the flop, push any non-ace turn. Considering the ace flopped, I would check behind on the turn and call any small bet on the river. (this might be bad)

ok, i did fold on river, but what about my turn bet?
I think checking turn means he auto-bets river, whcih means i auto-lose

Re: Down to 5 in $1 SNG, fold top pair?
By your own admission, villain was a calling station. When calling stations lead the betting, especially an all-in, you have to know he has a big hand, in this case a flush.
You needed to raise much more on the flop to get the drawing hands out, or at the very least know where you stand. Min re-raises achieve neither of these goals.
