Common awkward situation
This is a situation that comes up quite frequently that I never know how to handle.
$200 Party SNG, no reads. 25/50. You have 930 and hold A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. One limper to you, you raise to 200, he calls. He has you covered. Flop T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Pot is 475 and your stack is 730. He checks. Now what? |

Re: Common awkward situation
Perhaps you're right, I don't stand to lose all that much when called...
I need better examples, but I'm too lazy to find any. What happens if I make the flop here Kxx? 789 with two diamonds? |

Re: Common awkward situation
Kxx is a 250/fold situation for me. Note I bet the same with AK.
987 makes me check behind more but it depends on the opponent. |

Re: Common awkward situation
Line 1: Check behind (use against aggressive, tricky players)
Line 2: Bet 250/fold to a CR (my standard but you have odds to call...I figure I've got an over 25% chance to come back anyway) Line 3: All in (vs. fish and weak/tighties) |

Re: Common awkward situation
I like Adanthar's line 2 here unless you have a specific read on your opponent. To break even CEV-wise you only need him to fold once out of 3 times.
If 200+12 SNG players like to come over the top of a 250 bet in this situation then perhaps you go allin. Chances are you have the best hand still and your opponent has shown no strength. Yugoslav |

Re: Common awkward situation
I haven't read the other posts yet, I wanted to reply before being corrupted.
I think the standard play is to make a bet of about 300. You have to be pretty sure that your opponet will not call your preflop raise with a 2. Probably not with a 10 either. He's showing weakness so go ahead and make a stab at it. If he comes over the top or even calls, then slow down. |
