Hi MisterB73!

I would bet the flop ~$0.60 and move all-in on the turn.

Btw: Please use our sample hands board for the next hands you are posting. Thanks in advance!

Good luck at the tables!

According to the SSS, I should have made a pot size bet ($1.15). The reason I didn't do that is because I figured the chances of MP2 having a better hand at that time or being at a good draw minimal. Also, I figured he probably knows I'm a SSS player, so if I would play according to the SSS he would fold.
That's why I decided to slow play the flop.

(I will post next hands to the sample hands board. Sorry about that.)

If Villain has nothing he will fold on your Turnbet anyway, and you not making a conti-bet is bad for two reasons:
1. It looks suspicious very often
2. You give your opponent the chance to get a freecard and maybe outdraw you

So if you contibet he will fold with nothing anyway and will call you or maybe raise you (if he has something or just thing you missed the flop and what to steal the pot). So do not slowplay when their is no reason do to that.


I would fold pre-flop, because there has been one limper

Why? The SHC chart tells u to Raise here so why would u fold vs one limper?


hmm, you are right. I was following old SSS chart, there says raise 0, which seems more logic. I don´t want certainly want to raise, if there has been 2-3 limpers, because mostly one or two overcards could come out there and I don´t know where I at.


Not knowing where you're at isn't a problem. Small pairs are the easiest hands to play because they either make monsters or very marginal hands.
