Hi,
I just played this hand in a 11$ shootout...5 people left..

Known players: (for a description of vp$ip, pfr, ats, folded bb, af, wts, wsd or hands click here)
[tg]SB$6.460:///////;BB$2.080:///////;MP3$3.630:///////;CO$9.980:///////;Hero$7.850:///////;[/tg]

50/100 No-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BU with J♥, A♥
MP3 folds, CO calls, Hero raises to 400, 2 folds, CO calls.

Flop: (950) J♠, 9♥, A♣ (2 players)
CO checks, Hero checks.

Turn: (950) 4♣ (2 players)
CO bets 1000, Hero raises to 2500, CO raises to 6500, Hero raises all-in, CO calls.

River: (15.850) 6♥

Final Pot: 15.850

Now, this is probably the time I should say that often I can read my opponent's hand , but I can't lay anything down...
The guy just called the blind and my raise pre-flop, so I think he has a small pair...I flop top 2 pair, i check behind, hoping he'll bluff the turn.
Turn comes 4... He bets... I'm kinda hoping he's bluffing, but at the same time it's obvious to me that he hit a set...but what the hell, I raise, and go all-in...
Do you guys ever have this problem of not getting away from "big" hands like that?

If u put him on a small pair you should never check behind cus he probably won't pay you off unless he hits his set?

I almost never slowplay in sng's (real monster yes, hands like this no)
