What do do with this draw on the bubble?
5+.50 1 table SNG
4 players left , no real reads, BB was decently tight. mainly , did i make the right call with all my outs? i'm still new , and ITM is good enough ************************ PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font> Button (t2495) <font color="#C00000">Hero (t3580)</font> <font color="#C00000">BB (t4610)</font> <font color="#C00000">UTG (t2815)</font> Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

(still new , whopping 78 SnG's under my belt at the 5.50 range , with 40% ITM , but only a 6.99 ROI% (had a recent nasty nasty losing streak) Any thoughts on my play as a whole would be great.

Re: What do do with this draw on the bubble?
- Fold preflop
- Checkraise allin on the flop, even after the unfortunate min-raise. - Give us more than 1 minute before posting results |

Why not just bet the flop? It's not like you are way ahead, so it wouldn't be terrible if they folded.

Why not just bet the flop? It's not like you are way ahead, so it wouldn't be terrible if they folded. [/ QUOTE ] Betting out is not ideal. Here is a quote from Paul Phillips on a straight-flush draw hand: [ QUOTE ] This hand is in a specific, important category of hands: those that cannot be large dogs (absolute worst case scenario you're a 2-1 dog, and even if he has a set you're only 3-2) but also cannot be large favorites -- you are at real risk to end up with queen high after all. With this category of hands you must try to engineer the betting so that you are all-in first. You need folding equity in this situation more than in any other situation where you like your hand. If your opponent folds he will invariably be folding the best made hand, and this can never be a bad thing for you. So if moving all-in on the flop is not a giant overbet you should do that, and if it is, then you should go for a check-raise. The nice thing about check-raising hands like this is that it's risk free; if he checks behind you it's no skin off your nose. A free card is just fine with this hand. I'm sure you would have been called in this scenario by AJ, but that's no tragedy. It's the alternate universes where the guy lays down second pair or whatever that make getting all-in first important. [/ QUOTE ] |

I guess it is a pretty big overbet, but you are on the bubble. If you weren't on the bubble, it is definately a giant overbet, but is it when you are? I think you want the most FE. Depending on the game you could decide what give the most FE. I guess if you think either a check or a small bet are more likely then check/raise is good, but if you think a big bet or push are likely then you should push first. |

- Fold preflop - Checkraise allin on the flop, even after the unfortunate min-raise. - Give us more than 1 minute before posting results [/ QUOTE ] I'd strongly agree with everything, except wouldn't completely rule out limping with 8Ts in SB. Assuming loose passive players, it's well worth a look on the flop given your stack size and the relatively smallish blinds. |

Yeah, I would NEVER fold this hand preflop in this situation. |

Re: What do do with this draw on the bubble?
I'm no expert, but I fold after the someone bet and and then someone else raises the flop.
Your pot odds are 1.8 to 1. You have 15 outs, but have negative pot odds of 2.13 to 1 to make the str8 or flush. On top of that, not all 15 outs are good because you could make the str8 or flush and still have the 2nd best hand by losing to a higer str8 or higher flush. IMHO Fold the flop. |
