i don't think either one of them played it badly. i'd raise more on the flop if i'm CO, but other than that it's fine. SB has a lot of options but i think his is fine.

I'd fold on the turn in a heartbeat...while I wouldn't be thinking he had a straight, I'd be worried he hit a set on the flop or hit an overcard on the turn. To me this is a no-brainer.

Weak fish here.

I don't understand why the SB only made a 1/2 pot sized bet on the flop, then called a raise and an all-in on the turn. I would have played this hand as the SB one of two ways, depending on my read of the villain:

1) Make a pot-sized bet on the flop, and push a raise.

or

2) Make a 1/2 to full-sized pot bet on the flop like the SB did, but check/fold if the villain calls/raises.

It seems inconsistent the way the SB played it... or is that my usual fishy thinking?

[/ QUOTE ] I thought the SB played it a bit weakly. He could have pushed preflop (I don't know that I would have done that). But on the flop, when he was reraised, he should have folded or pushed (calling pot commits him anyway, for the most part). I would have pushed.

SB has 7k left in a 19k pot. sure, he's probably behind, but there's too much chance he's not.

now that i think about it, SB should've reraised the flop. who cares if you let villain get away for the last 7k? he has a lot of outs pretty much no matter what he has.

The fact that the SB didn't push PF for 20% of his stack to a loose LP raise is like a travesty. Or something.

Oh, him not getting every chip in on the flop sucks, too.

crap, ok, looked at stacks again. SB should obviously push pre. i thought they were deeper for some reason.
