I am not a great hold 'em player (never play it cash game), but I have managed to win on playing sngs. I don't normally post here, but here is a hand early in a $12 sng that I felt a little unsure about. I choose to put in a large reraise on the flop because I don't want him to draw to an open-ended or a flush. Then I call because I figure I am ahead of an average player's range. What do you think about it?
