Hi,

was it the right decision to shove my hand with my very short stack after i got to see the flop for free?
I decided to go for it as having a free look at a gutshut flush daw (+top pair) at 10BB isnt to bad imho.

PokerStars - €1.32+€0.18|75/150 NL - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: 3,005
MP: 1,940
CO: 2,280
BTN: 1,850
SB: 3,275
Hero (BB): 1,150

SB posts SB 75, Hero posts BB 150

Pre Flop: (pot: 225) Hero has 8♣ Q♣

fold, fold, fold, BTN calls 150, fold, Hero checks

Flop: (375, 2 players) Q♦ 9♣ T♣
Hero bets 1,000 and is all-in, BTN calls 1,000

Turn: (2,375, 2 players) 2♠

River: (2,375, 2 players) J♥

Hero shows 8♣ Q♣ (Straight, Queen High) (Pre 28%, Flop 46%, Turn 27%)
BTN shows K♠ Q♠ (Straight, King High) (Pre 72%, Flop 54%, Turn 73%)
BTN wins 2,375

Hello TobZero ,

Preflop:

OK.

Flop:

Just make a small bet for value. Something like 300 chips. We got very strong hand and we want to get vale, not to scare all the pockets to 88, the nines and the tens and the gutters.

Best regards,
Antoan :pokerface:

Shouldnt i play shove or fold at this stage with ~10BB?
my SnG experience is very very limited so i would love to add new tricks to the below 13BB phase!

if i had about ~5BB more i would have raised the pot as you said.

This is about the preflop.

Here on the flop I would bet with ~500> chips. With less chips I would check/shove or shove my self.

Best regards,

I wouldn't shove this pre-flop, because there's no antes yet. With antes, definitely shove.

Post-flop you go bet/shove flop.
