    Default Live situation

    These are estimates:

    blinds: $1/$2

    7 man $10 SNG, live

    5 players left:

    Stack sizes

    UTG - $30
    CO - $15
    Button (Hero) - $45
    SB - $25
    BB - $60

    PF - 2 folds, Hero raises $6, SB folds, BB calls $4

    , , (pot $13)

    Flop - BB checks, Hero raises $8, BB calls $8

    (pot $29)

    Turn - BB checks, Hero checks

    (pot $29)

    River - BB checks, Hero ???


    Reads on BB so far: So far he had played really loose and was somewhat of a calling station. I had seen him make some really questionable calls with almost nothing. But I felt that he had a very weak holding at this point and he was hoping to see a showdown. I ended up pushing all-in here, do you guys think that was a good decision when I had pretty much nothing? I just felt weakness oozing from his side of the table.


    edit:

    Prize pool was 1st: $60 2nd: $10

    I'd definitely bet the turn on the scare card.

    River is a check for me, we don't want to be getting all our chips in v the one guy who can bust us holding only A high.

    Yep defeinitely bet the Turn if you want to bluff.
    He probably has a pair of 2 or 3.

    What do you mean "pretty much nothing"... you had absolutely nothing. He's not calling with a weaker hand so you must be hoping to push him off a pair. Problem with bluffing a calling station with absolutely nothing is... surprise, surprise.... they call with marginal hands. In my experience, I find it best not to get fancy with these players and rarely bluff against them.
