Hi there, This is the kind of hand i really hate, it is only 5 hands into the SNG so i didn`t have any reads on my opponents. Would i have been better off playing this for set value?

Any suggestions welcome

Cheers

Hello GeneralZod,

The hand isn't converted properly, so we can't see the raise sizes.

However, if the raisesizes are normal, then I wouldn't ever fold this. Checking the turn is allright, but I would raise BU's bet with the intention of going all in right here on the turn.

Hi

I am also playing the $1 SnG limits and at the moment doing pretty well. I agree, never fold this. So far in my limited experience I have found that people at this limit will call with just about anything. They also love to bluff, they love it way to much for their own good, but this is a good thing.

You have an overpair, so don't fold. I have seen many players call a bet on the flop, even potsized bets with A/K-high and then bet on the turn. On this board all you're really looking out for would be sets or a bigger pair. Both of which should play aggressively against you. But I would still be looking to push. If you wanna play cautious, call his bet if not too expensive and block bet on the river. Often when I know I am behind I will often pay to see his cards when it doesn't cost me too much. But here with an overpair play aggressively, and hey, if you get knocked out to a hand that shouldn't be playing there then it's ok... these are the players that will build your bankroll.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents

Later

Nick

Hi all,

I agree with helemaalnicks and NickParkes except blockbetting a blank river is not good. We should play check/call once again to get maximum value from bluffs.
