So this was in about the middle-latestages of a $0,25 45man sng. The players are pretty terrible, but i've been running pretty terrible so i'm still going to try to improve as much as possible. So that my ROI will be even bigger then the current 120%...

So this hand is played pretty weird by me. The bet on the flop was probably too weak. The reason for that was that i wanted to keep as much hands as possible in the pot, since there are very few hands that would beat me. It doesn't make sense for people to have called the BB with Q-6 or Q-5 preflop. It's more likely someone has A-Q, Q-K, Q-J maybe A-Q of spades at most. On the turn the pot is already 2 times the amount of his stack, so he can't fold the hand he has since the turn is almost a blank. If he likes his pair of Queens or flush draw on the flop he will like it on the turn. So i decide to shove it all in, afraid of just getting called by a bet and then getting sucked out again.

you are in a multi-way pot with bottom 2 pair on a draw heavy board. you need to bet so nice work! but you need to bet more. i think 650-700 is appropriate.

as played nh wp. 2 pair is still going to be good on the turn pretty much always.


Yeah what i thought, funny enough he actualy had 2-4 and made a straight. Gotta love them fish don't you? It really doesn't make sense to call 10% of your stack with 2-4 offsuit preflop.. Ahwell.. the bad beats will be over soo enough.

Kinda this but I take it further and bet full potsize (1000) on the flop. It's 5 way!!
