Default Fold made straight on the bubble??

Low stakes SNG. I had been very active defending my blind to the SB. He had called both the previous two rounds and I had raised him off. Any comments on my play appreciated.

Button (2347 in chips)
SB (2982 in chips)
Hero (4205 in chips)
UTG (466 in chips)
(10,000 total)

SB posts 100
Hero posts BB 200

Hero 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

UTG folds, Button folds, SB calls, Hero checks

----- FLOP ----- (t400)
6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

SB checks, Hero bets 200, SB calls 200

----- TURN ----- (t800)

SB checks, Hero checks

----- RIVER -----

SB bets 2582 and is all-in

Easy call, your probably chopping, you ,might be behind, then again he might just have a ten. Regardless you are the chip leader and even if you lose, you still have 1300 chips.

I actually folded this. I thought he must have a hand to go all-in v big stack.

I put him on a 7 and figured that the best I would get was a split pot, so did not think it was worth risking my position as chip leader in case he had J7. As it turned out he showed QJ.

So it seems like a good fold but I didn't want to be results orientated.


I thought his call of my flop bet was a maybe a bit optimistic?

I'm not sure, you might have actually made a good fold considering you were likely to be at best chopping a small pot, and you're on the bubble with a really short stack there.

A bigger point is that you should be pushing any two after the sb limp, since you're on the bubble with a third party being at 2.5 bbs.

Yeah, push preflop. It's otherwise fine to fold here I think.
