I think if you raise preflop, you wouldnt have been in such a tough spot. I think you get rid of the blinds, and if you dont, then i dont think that you need to worry as much about the str8 draw. but, because you limped, you really have no idea what anyone has. I would fold because the sng just started and no reason to put your money in with no idea where you stand.

Looks standard to me. I'd play it the same way in a $50+5.

I think it's too aggressive, but then you knew I would.

Nah, I'm actually interested in your point. Why do you think it's too aggressive and how would you have played it?

I think your gonna be drawing dead some of the time to 2 pair and set. Up agaisnt a straight/flush draw (maybe with overcard(s)) some of the time (which I dont even know if I want). Dominate something like smaller (none-set) pocket pair a little of the time.

The bottom line is that you gotta make a blind guess and its still so early. Why not fold this and outplay your opponents as the blinds go up?

Hope someone flames me so I can find leaks =) Brian

like others have said, it is too aggressive for me at least. However, hands like this are why i play pokerstars...since if i mess up, i get another chance to win [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Generally if I play TT passively preflop, it's not going to take much for me to dump it after the flop if I don't spike a set, even if I happen to flop an overpair. I think that's your best line here, especially with such poor r/implieds..

You aren't in for much, pick a better spot.

I would have raised pre-flop. Calling the blinds??!? Would have called too but only to a raise. Here is a worthy raise. When the flop comes this, open up with a bet.
