This was the first hand of the sng. I'm wondering if I should have either bet out or check/raised on the flop. My reasoning for check/calling was that my hand was so strong I could slow play in, especially since the board had very few draws. On the turn I pushed in because the board now had many draws.

Also, was that about the right amount preflop? (I was 6 tabling, and didn't have time to do much math)

The result was a tough beat for the first hand of a tourney X(

hello gggeorgio,

I would definately bet out on the flop. slowplaying by c/calling is very strong. I would push the turn too. Preflop, the right amount is 180 imo. 3bb, +6 for the 4 limpers and the miniraiser. A good trick that makes that you don't have to do the math, is to click the slider once for the initial 3bb's, then just click the slider 1x per limper.

As played, I would check/raise the turn though. Because our opponent has shown strength, and usually will bet again.
