[Closed] $5 sng- 1st hand, flopped bottom set

1) I open fold this hand.

As played:
2) Check/raise that flop because:
2.1) Protection (FD)
2.2) The pot is to small, I want to go broke on that board (a lot of Ax will pay you off).

As played:
3) Raise bigger on the turn
Same 2.2 reason.

Now, after his min raise on the turn, either you go broke (you think his line is weak) or you call and check the river to him (you think it is a very strong line). Depends on reads.
If you take the second aproach, maybe he continues to bet small and you can easy call. I'd call a shove vs unknown. Could easily be A9/A2 or even AK/AQ.

I agree, Santostr... I hate open limping, but at blinds 10/20, there wasn't that much to lose if I didn't flop the set.

BTW, players at this level keep min raising and min 3-betting... so much that once I had to check the lobby to see if I was at a fixed limit sng (don't even know if those exist). What the hell are they thinking? What's the point of the min raise? If anyone could please explain what the min raise usually means it would be a lot of help.

Well, my thinking on this hand... I didn't c/r the flop just exactly because of the flush draw. Pot is too small for me to need to protect and usually any flush draw will call any bet. I have only 40 chips invested to that point. However, I do c/r when the draw isn't completed on the turn, as the pot is a little bigger The pre-flop raiser can't logically have 5-4, so at that point it is when I feel safe. People tend to fish the draw less when there is only the river left. I was pretty sure he had an A, but definitely never crossed my mind that he had two.

Don't know if this is the correct way of thinking, this is why I post it. Thx.

pre flop is fine.

i go for the flop c/r as well. try get the money in on the flop if you can against Ax.

again on the turn, dont flat his 3bet, just shove

Not much too add. Although I think that on 5$ SNGs it's a leak to open fold though, people suck and people who suck overplay their hands which grants to enough payout.
