Party SNG last night - first time I've busted out 10th in > 200 tourneys. Not really much to it, just wondering if anyone has any comments. I was worried about the small flop bet, but hindsight is always 20/20.

Final Pot: t1650
Main Pot: t1650 (t1650), between Hero and Button. > Pot won by Button (t1650).

Results in white below:

You should have looked at your cards.

Ah, comedians. Thanks for the input. Perhaps laughter is the best medicine in this case . . .

Fold preflop or on the flop.

I'd fold PF but I'm not folding for 15 in a pot of 380.

Just CR all in on the turn, it saves you the trouble.

I would have seen the flop, then I would have done what Lori suggested. Had to put him on kings, he was tangling the bait.

Nah- I'd be toast here. I put him on AK and you're getting a free card basically to hit your set. ??Maybe the 15 flop bet was a misclick??

You raised to 55, why? Play Jacks early in a SNG for SET VALUE ONLY! The raise is still ok, i guess, but when the villian reraises to 150, you should fold or go all-in. I would never go all-in with JJ in this spot, so my advice is fold and wait for a better opportunity.

Relatively easy PF fold. The flop is annoying amateur stuff, but it obviously works somethimes. Not that I'm folding for 15 there either though.
