About LinkBacksThere are four players left in a live SNG. You are on the button. Blinds are 50-100.
CO folds. You have K8o, and you limp in. The SB, a conservative player, completes the blind. The BB, loose/aggressive player, checks. All three players have about the same amount of chips (and are the 3 largest stacks).
The flop is Q 5 5 rainbow. Everyone checks around.
The turn is an 8. Everyone checks to you, and you bet 200. Everyone calls.
The river is a K. Everyone checks to you again. Do you check or bet?

I would bet on this one 'cause there are some chances that one of your opponent paired his K and think that he has the best hand.

Thanks for the thoughts. Here's how it worked out.
I bet 300 on the river. The conservative player minimum raised me to 600. The LAG re-raised to 1000.
I stupidly called the LAG's bet. I felt relatively confident that neither player had a 5, although I was more confident about my read of the LAG's bet.
After I called, the conservative player re-raised all in, and the LAG called. At that point, I folded. The conservative player then showed pocket Qs, for Qs full. The LAG was in fact playing a hand inferior to mine, showing K3.
I know my call of the two raises was terrible, but afterwards, I was mostly kicking myself for betting the river at all. Sounds like my call was the far bigger mistake. Thanks again.Last edited by mxp2004; 05-23-2005 at 10:07 AM.

I think its the limp that's the start of the problem. If you are playing K8o then you need to have some idea of what your opponent is playing (this would hopefully get rid of the potential 5 and maybe give you a chance to dodge the QQ). The risk of running foul of Kx with K8o limped is high and it's hard to say what kind of flop you are hoping for if you limp.
(yes this is based on the result so is tainted, but I read the post earlier and thought the same)

i would put a feel bet in on the river, but any reraise should tip you off that you are beaten by a set of 5's or a fullhouse, that was also a bold move for that guy to slowplay his qq pf even for a coservative player.. at least raise 2xbb.

Am I the only one who would check this pot?
This is an SNG, 900 in the pot, any bet you make is going to be quite expensive. There are very few hands that you're actually suckering into a call.
Betting here can only get in trouble. You might get lucky and pull an extra 300 off someone paying you with Qs or something random (like randomly calling all the way with AK there...) but I just don't see the point when there aren't that many hands that you're beating that will call you based on the play.

One letter and one number:
"1k"
That's what I'm betting here and I'm calling anything. KQ would've bet the flop and any 5 would've bet the turn because they're so bad that they couldn't resist, but any King is gonna check/raise you here and might fold thinking that you have a 5. At the worst case, they call with the King and you split with the Q kicker. A weak Q is gonna call and, you know what?...
I think Ace high and a bad pair in the hole are gonna call. The bad pairs might call thinking that you're playing the board with an Ace high and they have you with 2 pair.
Bet T1k. you got this.Last edited by the alex; 05-24-2005 at 01:59 AM.

Anyone else
1.) Raise preflop
2.) Possibly bet the flop
3.) Make a real bet on the turn?
4.) Bet 800 on the river? Probably calling a push from BB“There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about.” - John von Neumann
