    Default Bad play on my part

    This was one of the first hands in a 5 dollar SnG, so there isnt much info to give.

    Because of the PF raise-reraise-call I knew that he had a big hand, and with a scary straight/straight draw flop I paniced and didn't know what to do, so I just went all in, knowing it probably wasn't the best play.

    How much would you have bet on the flop? Any other input is welcome as well.

    thats really hard...the problem with going all-in on the flop is that anything that you beat folds, and anything that has you beat calls. I'm not sure what the best play is though.

    I think if you're willing to get all your money in here, the best thing to do is to check/call, giving villain an opportunity to bluff. The only problem with this is if villain checks behind, and a K comes on the board. But I think its still your best option (ONLY if you're willing to go all-in anyways...I'm not entirely sure if I'm willing to go all in on this flop)

    Im not sure i jack his raise up to 400 pf. Ill probably just call. Sng i play vary catuious in beginning. Flop i must assume i got the best hand so I'm ready to die with it.
    I get more ass than a toilet seat. All shapes/colors/sizes.

    Pot sized bet. You are probably ahead....make him pay to draw out on you.

    Next time just flat call PF and go all in as fast as possible on the flop.

    Betcha $10 he calls with those queens next time, and you're 75% to double up.
