99...now what?

[jah0550]

This was a $50 SNG. After the flop, I figured that I probably had the best hand. Since the turn was a blank, was it correct to push or should I have folded a long time ago, ie. when the SB bet on the flop? I called his flop bet with the intention of bluffing on the turn. Sort of a "slow and go." Does anyone else play this hand the way that I did? Who could put the villian on what he had, because I guarantee that no one will be able to put him on the hand that he had.

Who the hell min raises on level II with KK with 3 limpers already in the pot. Not to mention that he was way out of position. It is amazing at the level of play at the $50s. I just hope to run into this idiot again!

The villian's name was eightP if anyone cares.

Is this sarcastic? You played the hand horribly, fold on the flop.

What makes you think he didn't have some sort of Tx, JJ-AA, 55, 33 here? All of those hands have been mini-raised by players at the 55's. He bet the flop/turn and yet you still raised the turn where he'd most likely not be able to fold even with overs. If you were thinking of raising here, you should have done it on the flop, and if you were thinking of stealing this pot from him it might have been easier if you acted first where you could check/call the flop bet, and bet the turn. Or check/raise the flop instead. I'm going to post this and edit in a sec when I find a perfect hand like this to show you how to play this instead if you really did think you had the best hand.

What makes the hand you posted significantly different from the OP?

Sort of a "slow and go." Does anyone else play this hand the way that I did?

yeah...villain.

[infinite_loop]

Look at the min raise from the BB pre-flop. What does that tell you? AK? No. JJ or QQ? No. AA or KK? Yep.

With the pre-flop min raise and betting half the pot on the flop with a pretty low board screams AA or KK.

This should be an easy fold on the flop.

SwiftSteal = very good player who put opponent on high cards, or some sort of missed hand where his PP was the best hand (even with the over on board). Forget about the results in the hand and that he got lucky at the river.

He was in another position though which would accomplish the OP's wishes easier in this situation (IMHO) than being last to act here.



From OP: "This was a $50 SNG. After the flop, I figured that I probably had the best hand.
