Hi, I'm hoping to get some opinions on a hand I played in a $20 SNG recently. I had Ac9c. There were two limpers in front of me and I called also. I had last position and there were two other people in the hand. So the flop comes 4c 8c 10c. I hit the nut flush. At this point the pot is about 100. The first guy leads out for 100, the second guy calls, and I also just call. The turn then comes Kc and it gets checked around.
Did I make a mistake here giving a free card? I have the nuts at this point so should I make a bet? If so, what percentage of the pot should it be? Anyways river comes 4s (there are 2 4's out there now). First guy bets about 50% of pot, the 2nd guy folds. I minraise; he re-raises all in, and I call. He had pocket 8's so his full house beat my flush. I think my play on the flop was fine and I was hoping they would bet again on the turn but they didn't. Should I have bet that turn? |

Sorry I should have mentioned that. It was at the beginning so I had about 750ish. The guy who made the set had about 1000. Blinds were 15/30, level 2, at partypoker.

[/ QUOTE ] This is a very scary board and you have no real way to put your opponent on a set. Honestly I don't mind checking behind the turn, nor do I mind betting here. I think it comes down do "do I think my opponents will pay me off with a worse hand like Qc or a set/two pair or even worse if I bet now", which is really hard to judge. Your big mistake in this hand, though, is raising the river. With 4 clubs on the board, you're not going to get a lot of action from worse than a full house except maybe the Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], but the Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] probably bets the turn so you can rule it out a lot of the time. |

you're probably not going to get much action on the turn if you bet.
i would have checked on turn, and place a small bet on river unless a scare card hits. and in your case, it did come. in that situation, i would have just called a bet. |

In hindsight, yes. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Right, but the important point is that just because you made what is at worst a minor mistake on the turn doesn't mean you should compound the mistake by giving your entire stack to a boat. Just call river. |

I told two of my poker friends about this hand...
They were both saying how I shouldn't have given a free card on the turn and that there's 10 outs for me to NOT have the nuts anymore. But I responded to that, that is assuming they already have a set which is far from garunteed. Also 10 outs with 1 card to come is not enormous. |

Letting the turn check through really isn't terrible. However getting your whole stack in when the board pairs is. |
