200$ SnG / Chipleader / what would you do?

[ZeeJustin]

A) your raise preflop is too small.
B) Your bet on the flop is too small.
C) You have an EASY all-in call on the turn (note that I'm saying this despite the fact that the results say I'm wrong).

Considering you have a pretty spicy redraw, you would need to be very very confident that he has the flush in order to make this laydown.

He played his flush very poorly IMO.

A lot of people are saying stuff like, "it's too early to risk your chips." This might be a proper line of thinking for the $10 SNG's, but it is not for the $200 SNG's, especially with 6 people left. Do not forget he also still has a stack to work with if he loses, but will be able to push everyone around if he wins.

i don't understand most of the responses in this thread. i would qualmlessly call this bet and expect to be ahead, and if i'm not, i have a redraw to the nuts. i'm playing for 1st, not 3rd.

I agree with everything justin says here.
I would expect to be ahead on the turn here. Normally if he has hit 2 pairs or TPTK, he would make a big raise in the turn. The flush is just an accident, if he has it, oh well... but normally he doesn't.

Hi Aj,

Ok, it's a kind of relief, that two experienced 200sng players like you and ZeeJustin agreed with my move. I really started thinking I did the wrong thing, but your reasoning makes sense.

By the way, was cool to play against you in one of my last 200 SNG's. I hope you won that one....

Cheers and until the next time...

i'm not that experienced, giving htese a try, a little burnt out from party 15. i've played about 150 SNGS.

i took 2nd in that one we played.

Thx for your reply Zee,

I see that I although made a couple of mistakes preflop and flopwise seen. My problem is, that I usually only play limit, and sometimes I don't know exactly, how much to bet in these 200 SNG, but anyways, it has been worse...

To what you mentioned in C). How can you be confident enough to put BB exactly on a flush? In a live game may be, but online? Pretty tough, plus my nutflush redraw. As longer as I think about it, the more I am sure to have done the right thing.

Thx Zee, and may be cu in the next 200SNG [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'd call in an instant, reasoning that if he had the flush his raise wouldn't be an all-in one, but would be a "milking" raise. The fact that you have the nut flush draw as well makes the call a no brainer IMO.
