This was in a $0,25 45 player sng. I'm just wondering should i have played it differently? Overall i'm quite happy how i played it. I didn't really like the flop,
there are quite a few hands that would beat me and alot of possible draws. So i just call the flop. The turn i make 2 pair, but a 10 would have a straight and hands like A-10, A-K , A-Q also beat me so i just call it again. On the river i make a fullhouse and reraise him

fold pre flop.

KQo has a lot of reverse implied odds (meaning its easily dominated and you have no idea of your hand is good, especially on flops like this).

you should only be limping small-medium pocket pairs early stage, limping hands like this will only get you into horrible spots.

as played calling flop is OK because of your outs to the straight, but dont expect your Q to be good unimproved on this board very often.

turn and river are both fine, the big mistake is pre flop.


So i should basicaly only play pairs and A-K early stage?


from UTG 7 handed you can limp 22-88 and open raise 99+ and AQo+

you should not open limp hands like KQo or raise looser than this from this position.
