What to do here SNG



Posted Tue May 03, 2005 11:20 pm GMT by Dr_Pablo
10+1 sng, was 3 tableing at the time, and got TT, TT, and AA all at once on three different tables. This is one of the TT hands, and was an interesting situation:

Blinds(15/30)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to WellSaid Ten of HeartsTen of Clubs
>You have options at Table 12988 Table!.
kpike folds.
geneticsteve folds.
WellSaid calls 30.
GUNMAN10MM raises 185.
SlowBurnin folds.
BarcoderNJ folds.
>You have options at Table 12973 Table!.
jackboy111 folds.
texasdw folds.
pmpn8ntez folds.
la_momis folds.
>You have options at Table 12988 Table!.
WellSaid calls 185.
** Dealing Flop ** Seven of Clubs Eight of Clubs Nine of Spades
GUNMAN10MM checks.
WellSaid is all-In 600

(gunman has 1200 chips left on the flop)


my thinking, I probably still have the best hand here, but if i dont, i have a draw, i think my opponent could be on AK, AQ, AJ, AT(he was loose in a few previous plays) KK, qq, aa, jj, kq, kj, 66,55,44,33,22 he is chip leader, on a previous hand he played a low pp, 77, with the same aggressive, nature, and a raise up to 100 on the 10/15 blinds, something i even noted.

A discussion arose on the IRC as to what the best play here is,
at the time of the play i didnt really put much thought into it, i was playing 3 big hands on 3 tables at once, and went with my first instinct which was all in.

SEANNJ, then snoogins brought up the idea of a check here

i have two follow up questions for this one
a.) you check now an overcard falls on the turn and your opponent pushes
b. you check now a 2c falls and your opponent pushes
What do you do

also is the option of a small bet
a.) if check raised, what do you do
b.) if called and a flush or over card comes and spurs a bet from your opponent what do you do.

thought this would be interesting, thanks to any responses.


ill post the outcome of the hand after a few responses./b

I suggested the check behind. Snoogins thought you should bet. Just thought I'd clarify before all the "Snoogins, how in the world do you check that!?!?!" posts. :D
