This kind of situation...

...is the kind of hand that gives me trouble. I'm mostly a limit player, but I've been trying my hand at some SNG's lately with some surplus bankroll and I'm actually doing quite well. However, I don't think that I'm playing as well as I could be. These kind of hands are what messes me up. Please bear with me as I don't have hand histories - I'll make it as easy to read as possible.

I have about 1200 chips. Seven players left. Blinds are 30/60. Folded to me in CO. I have A10 of hearts. I raise to 150. Two folds, BB calls.

Flop is Q-10-6, two clubs.

BB checks. I bet 200 chips. BB raises to 600. I...

Fold? or check behind maybe... but I almost always make a continuation bet here. But I think you have to have a plan if reraised if your gonna bet. People seem to check raise here with a Q all the time. Id fold.

Or Limp with A,10 in CO, What Buy In is this?

Easy fold without a read but you should probably think about what your plan is before the hand.

Is the 150 raise going to be enough here? what size stack is BB.

Is he loose/tight/passive/aggressive?

You fold. You took a shot at it--180 would be 3X the BB, btw--and the flop continuation bet was fine. He check-raised you. You're beat. You've got 1000 chips left. You're fine. Let it go, and wait for another time. (This is where the fish go on with a hand they shouldn't.)
