    I don't like the turn raise. That was a small bet, maybe wanting a call or even raise. I especially don't like your raise if you are going to fold the river. I think you should have just folded the turn.

    this is tough, in a MTT, I would say, use your position and fire on the flop. But in a SnG, very likely someone has A-crap and won't let go.

    I probably would have hit at 200 PF then follow-through on the flop though.

    I don't like the flop check...I think I would have represented an ace and bet 300 after the flop, trying to win the pot on the spot. Yes, its an obvious bluff position for you with everyone checking, but since nobody else has indicated they have an ace yet, why not play into everyone's belief that one must be out there somewhere.

    If you get called, you can check the turn and you've bought yourself a full board and a chance to win the hand all for the cost of one pot-sized bet. If you get re-raised, you release and live to fight on with 750-800 chips, which is still plenty to do damage at the blind level you're currently at.
    :cool:

    I'd call the river in a heart-beat except jatex had me really confused. I didn't want to overcall with (what I thought) was a low chance at winning.

    I like it, but I don't like the weak bet, I would have made it big enough to scare off the obvious flush draws there, make it look like you're serious, just not effin aroudn here. Yeah, its a huge risk, but If you want pull the trigger, make sure you got an assault rifle, not a bb gun.
