    Default TT in bb

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $12+$1 Tournament, 15/30 Blinds (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP (t2030)
    CO (t1685)
    Button (t1258)
    SB (t1000)
    Hero (BB) (t1567)
    UTG (t1460)

    Hero's M: 34.82

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 10, 10
    3 folds, Button raises to t60, SB calls t45, Hero calls t30

    Flop: (t180) Q, 9, J (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, Button bets t60, SB raises to t120, Hero raises to t480, 1 fold, SB calls t360

    Turn: (t1200) 7 (2 players)
    SB bets t460 (All-In), Hero calls t460

    River: (t2120) K (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Total pot: t2120


    I'm not too good at sit'n'go's and would appreciate any help with this hand...

    Any advice on what's the best line to take here? I just wanted to play the straight flush draw fast. No reads on villains except that the button often likes to min-raise with two face cards.

    I didn't want to 3bet it preflop against 2 unknowns and out of position here to be honest.

    I mean you're hitting the straight flush like never, even open ended. I mean you have plenty of outs and there is only two Ts left in the deck, which is good for you. You have to believe that no one has anything like AKh because there would have most likely been a re raise or higher than min raise preflop. Though it's very believable that small blind has some type of Axh hand. I personally would have re raised preflop because min raises don't usually qualify as the nuts. If either villain 4-bets I'm folding, and I'm not getting too attached to my hand here though. Also, on the flop I would only call villains raise rather than re raise him.

    I don't mind the PF play...it's still very early and no need to get into too much trouble here. I probably just call on the flop with the ridiculous amount of outs you have then try to get it all in on the flop. Let him burn himself. Wouldn't be surprised though, the way he played, if he caught a set on that flop.

    PREFLOP: I dont mind your play either. Its exactly the same way as I would play tens.

    FLOP: I wouldnt 3bet this in this spot. What if you are up against AhKh?, you have very few outs if this is the case. I wouldnt mind calling the SB's bet and seeing what the turn brings. You are unlikely to hit the straight flush out in this instance, no matter how good the board looks.

    The guy playing on the button, what was he like? tight? loose? I think AKh is definately within his raising range.

    TURN: If im honest, if I dont improve, with the blinds still at 15/30 I probably let this hand go

    Yeah, now that you guys say it, I took an unnecessary risk there. Thanks. ^^

    I actually got very lucky this hand. He had T8.

    +1.

    That's how I would play it without any info on the Button.

    Once in a while, you wouldn't be wrong to raise to 200 preflop, expect one caller (or two folds), and then bet 350 on the flop as long as the flop doesn't show an ace or king...after that you are basically done with the hand if he calls.
