Default $11 SNG, QQ slow play


Hi Everyone,

I decided to check this flop to induce a bet for a check raise , villian checks instead and pushes the scare card for me on the turn. Standard fold? Should I always bet the flop?

Full Tilt Poker, $10 + $1 NL Hold'em Sit n' Go, 15/30 Blinds, 8 Players

MP2: 3,165
CO: 1,455
BTN: 1,560
SB: 1,440
Hero (BB): 1,500
UTG: 1,500
UTG+1: 1,380
MP1: 1,500

Pre-Flop: (45) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BB)
2 folds, <font color="red">MP1 raises to 100</font>, MP2 calls 100, 3 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to 400</font>, MP1 calls 300, MP2 folds

Flop: (915) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, MP1 checks

Turn: (915) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)

Reraising preflop and not continuing postflop with an overpair at hte low limits is very bad ... mp1 is a bad player limp/calling 400, get him to put more money in bad

He has had three opportunities to bet, when he limped, and when you raised .. but he chose to be passive twice already, and i have trouble he would decide to finally show some agression now

Also, what are you hoping for on the turn? That he has AJ and a jack comes?

I think pushing is fine b/c it's a little better than a pot sized bet. I would probably bet like 650 or something tho.

I would definately bet out on the flop, probably push. His preflop play pretty much says he doesn´t have kings or aces, so ace king is most likely and you surely don´t want to give a free card here.
Check raising might only work at a very agressive player which is pretty unlikely in this stage of the tournament. Just push the flop and you might be amazed how often you´re called by AK, AQ, AT and of course JJ.

shove the flop. 1k in the pot. 900 in the pot, 1.1k left to bet. Really brave villains will call the shove w/ a pair b/c "you bet too hard, it looks like you have AK"
