Re: The nature of 800 chip games
[ QUOTE ]
BTW, don't throw stuff at me ~ but I usually fold this PF at this level. *Ducks* [/ QUOTE ] My post flop skills would have to be completely retarded in order to fold here, especially at a 22. Most often my raise is going to buy me the button, and there's just been one EP limper. Do you know how many times you're going to double up here by hitting TP and get paid off by KQ, AJ, etc... |

I wouldn't check this flop [/ QUOTE ] Crap, yeah, I overlooked that. I was responding to the "theory" part of this rather than the actual hand. No way I check the flop. The board is way too draw heavy, and you've got no reason to believe the button will bet for you (you said you don't know him, so you can't say he's hyper-aggro or something). Just bet it, and if it comes back to you raised, three-bet all-in. |

But based on his play to that point, I expected a bet from him if checked to. Kind of a stupid thing to think considering it was just level 2, but he had bet up to this point in the game when checked to. |

Re: The nature of 800 chip games
Maybe I missed something. But the blinds were 15/30 right? And the player w/ KK just smooth called ur raise right?
I only raise AQos when it's folded down or 1 or maybe 2 limpers...and then I'm not going to push AQos to over 4xBB..but that's just me. Especially EARLY in a SNG...when the blinds are small...I'm waiting on either premium hands ( sorry I don't personally see AQos as a top tier hand...AKs barely makes it top tier in my book ). as for post flop... Well if it were me I'd be wondering what the button smooth called with. ( Did he insta-call with no visible hesitation? ) Automatically I'd be putting him on AK, KK QQ, maybe JJ..but I always think worse case. Plus now you've got a possible fl draw out there, as well as a str draw. But again, just my lowly opinion, probably many more people here with much more experience than I have. |

I'd never put a caller of my raise on a range that narrow. Have you played a 22 recently? Do you see the crap that guys call with pre-flop? |

Re: The nature of 800 chip games
The only way to get away from this hand is to fold preflop. BTW, if you were button, and had aces, would you play it any different?
Anyway, this hand reminded me of a hand I played last night that I thought was interesting.

I would not smooth call with aces from the button. I'd re-pop it and try to get all my money in pre-flop. I would have preferred this, of course, since I'd have folded my AQ to a substantial re-raise. |

Re: The nature of 800 chip games
I don't know if it is possible to avoid doubling up the button. But I don't like your CR on the flop. What if villain checks, you've given him a free card in case he is on a draw. I think a half pot bet on the flop is best. He will likely raise you and maybe you can fold, but I think the best players probably call and check it down. People on this forum claim that you should not go broke with tptk, (and some claim they can fold here) but I don't recall anyone ever posting such a hand. To your point... there are not enough chips to get away from strong hands... even at level 2!
