You think CO has pocket 6s? I guess it's possible. But only an imbecile would've called the bets on the flop and turn with everything on the board being overcards. IMO, he's most likely to have caught a piece of the flop, then 2 pair on the river. I'd reraise.

definately reraise. this guy is either stealing or he hit a Q6. move in on him. There is an off chance he's slowplayed AT but its unlikely. You've almost definately got best hand.

I think A/10 is the only hand you have to worry about here although it's more likely that he just hit 2 pair on the river (I'm guessing k/6.)

That being said, I'd probably just call in this situation.

9/10 is a possibility also...

well 1st off fold that PF,

Second of all you are either being bluffed/slowplayed or he had 66 or K6, you already have over 1/3rd of your stack in the pot.

I dunno, this is a tough spot but I'd toss it unless you have a read on this guy (which I am guessing you don't).

fold pf

fold river, no way you have the best hand

i'm guessing this is like a $5 sng or w/e so he could have anything from K6-t9-KK lol. they are very bad, they don't bluff and they don't raise unless they are strong (or w/e they think is strong) but i'd be very very surprised if he didn't have you.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (8 handed) converter

Hero (t3440)
MP2 (t1210)
CO (t1140)
Button (t1470)
SB (t1480)
BB (t1390)
UTG (t1950)
UTG+1 (t1420)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with , .
2 folds, Hero calls t20, MP2 calls t20, CO calls t20, Button calls t20, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t120) , , (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets t120, MP2 folds, CO calls t120, Button calls t120, SB folds, BB folds.

Turn: (t480) (3 players)
Hero bets t200, CO calls t200, Button calls t200.

River: (t1080) (3 players)
Hero bets t200, CO raises to t800, Button folds, Hero calls t600.

Final Pot: t2680

Results in white below:
Hero has Jh Qc (two pair, queens and jacks).
CO has Ts As (straight, ace high).
Outcome: CO wins t2680.


I was really only worried about the AT (somewhat 9T). I figured KJ or KQ would have had to reraise earlier. I thought there was a chance he had Kx or Qx, but I didn't have a read on him, being just the 4th hand.
My gut was telling me to fold (big mistake not trusting the gut). If I didn't have the big stack, I'm 99% sure I would have folded.
But I paid him off. 800 chips was probably too much to pay, but at least I got a read on the guy. I give him credit for the value bet on the river. Any more and I would have likely folded. He maximized his value on that hand. I did end up winning the tourney, though.

Early in the SnG, I think its OK to limp with QJ (especially w/ my stack). I'll lay it down pf to a raise and later in the game. How was my play on the flop and turn?

I think the opposite approach is better. Early in a SnG I tend to play very tight and let the maniacs knock themselves out.
