is this the 35% rule in action or am I a donkey?

PP 10+1 sng, 6 handed
blinds 50/100

It is folded around to me in the small blind with 1300, villain has 2300.

Hero has: As3h

Hero raises to 400
villain calls
flop Qs6h4d
pot 800, I have about 800 - villain has about 1900

Now, this is a pretty good flop for me, not because I hit it but because it would be hard for him to hit it with any hand that would be calling a raise.

I want to move at this pot.

I was going to make a standard continuation bet (around 400). lately, however I have been mulling around the archives and have become familiar with the "35% rule" wherein (correct me if i am wrong) if you are going to make a bet that is greater than or equal to 35-40% of your stack - you should go all in.

So I went all in

Villain calls, showing Ks6c

Turn is a blank
River is a blank

Villain wins 2600 with a pair of sixes.


Thoughts?

I'd raise less preflop to not get myself in this situation. Not sure where you got this 35% rule from. I don't follow it anyway.

Also there's 800 and you have 800, for me that means it's equal to your stack and you want it.. but I wouldn't cont bet in a blinds battle on such a weird flop with A3o. That's just me though. Oh, I could also see an argument for pushing pf even with 13bb. But raising 500 just seems the worst option of all.

How much would you raise preflop, and how would you act first on this flop?

I would simply open push from the SB, raising to 300 leaves u in the same crappy "first to act" positon, however other stack need to be seen.
BTW I like ure play on the flop.

I'd either push or raise to between 250-275. On the flop, I'd probably check. What I do next depends on his bet if any. For instance if I sense weakness I may check-raise all-in.

FWIW I don't like the play on the flop much as it reeks of a bluff too much. It's Q64r. What would you push with here? What are you afraid of? Would you really play a Q so strong? Against what we assume to be a random hand of varying strength? Meh.. I can't see it personally.

If you read the rest of that thread, some very good players give good advice stating that the 35% rule applies to PF and not to after the flop.

Either bet less PF or fold PF.
