Default Re: ($10) I get in trouble from the sb

A big difference between NL SNG's and limit ring is that your implied odds will dictate everything here whereas you're really looking more at pot odds in limit ring. Anyway, the button's bet could really mean anything, so I think you should be folding that flop or putting a big check-raise. Your jack and eight may or may not be live. Your flush is only J-high. When you make a hand it will be poorly disguised.

If you do call, donking the turn only serves to scare him. I actually think you're ahead here a fair amount of the time now. Check-call small bets, but 275 is too much to call with second pair. You could consider semi-bluffing the turn, but I thin k you're better off doing that on the flop if that's the line you want to take.
