Who's up for splitting the SNG forum into different levels? I would never make this play even at the $55s, but it may work at the higher levels.

I'm with you, but then again I'm down at the 11s and 22s, so my advice is probably useless on this. As far as the actual hand, I can't see myself making the move either. I've missed the turn, probably a check fold, unless he bets small or checks fearing the 6 (which I doubt).

[45suited]

Well, considering villain limped from EP on level 3 with only t795, I don't really think you can put him on a 6 or an ace. The only other possible hand I could see him having is a pair of tens. Some people MIGHT limp with this in this spot (not me). Possibly 77-99.

So I think that given that you could have had anything playing from the blinds, my guess is that this play will work quite often. Especially since I view his flop bet as a sign of weakness really.

What happened?

I don't like it. Agree with the check, but I prefer push or fold when it's back to me. By getting tricky you give him a free card to hit his overs on the turn, in which case you may now get a call. If he has a PP<TT he folds the flop if you CR him all-in and he's going nowhere if he has a 6 either way. So I'm not sure what extra FE you get by the SNG.

Anyhow, I've probably missed something so looking forward to your explanation....

Again...are you trying to lose? I see no reason to get involved with a crappy flush draw in the early levels when a pair is already on the board.

[microbet]

I assume you were planning on pushing any turn when you called the flop. Is that true?

I don't think it is good, but not terrible. The problem is the Villian's stack is too short.

His bet on the turn was either a 6, a Ten, a Draw, Overs (an Ace?), or a complete bluff. Considering his stack and what is in the pot he will call with most of those.

[microbet]

I don't mean to be saying that even he had a bigger stack you should necessarily make this bluff. You gotta have good timing for bluffs and it's hard to endorse one out of context.

You know he has an inside str8 draw too right? And that big flop bet is not coming from a FH or trips....

Your bluff will be called by A-10, but K-10, Q-10 and J-10 should fold.

[Fortitude]

215 is my regular game and I'd never make this call. In fact, I wouldn't make this call at any limit.
