I think the majority of the time you get 2 folds you have the best hand and would have gotten to showdown free or super cheap, and i think you are folding out better hands less often than you think

Sanchez:

In general, this is exactly right. In this instance I was absolutely sure that I was behind and had literally 2 outs that I could hit on the river (Q or Q).

They were in the same spot, of that I was certain. My only advantage was position in the hand and there was no way I was giving a free card to both of them.

As for raising the flop: Either all of my chips were going in there or as few as possible. I wouldn't raise for information in that spot, rather to drive out the suspect BB. The reason I didn't shove or raise him out there was because I felt he would be helpful later if he had the weakest ace.

Defending my play is not the goal here for me. I have already admitted to sub-optimal decisions in this hand. That said, my reads and the real time play makes this a shove on the turn the only move b/c I'm not worried about maximizing value of my hand. Taking the pot now is much less risky than seeing another card IMHO.

allin on turn is really not good IMO. You are playing a $20 sng against a bunch of donks. If they aren't donks, it should be exceptionally obvious to them that you probably don't have a ten. If they are donks, why the hell would they fold two pair?

btw I dont know how this stupid thread is 7 pages. Calling preflop is almost surely very bad in a sit and go format, and betting the turn is beyond ridiculous. Terrible terrible terrible beyond reproach. I of course haven't read most of the seven pages, but how is this so long?

Great to see Curtains posting!

Sorry this thread got so long. FWIW, both players folded.

BB said he had AJ.
MP said he had AK, then asked me if if I had KK.

I said "Yep".

You are the champ. Miracles happen sometimes, I don't believe it's a good bet.
