Big fold tpgk ($11)

I've been raising pretty frequently the last 2 orbits. His flop c/r was very quick. Maybe a cheap bluff that puts me on AK? I find this timing is never a monster, but he could have slowplayed QQ-AA.

i dont like the way you played this. i fold pf. as played, if you bother raising kjo from the co i dont think you can fold tpgk on the flop

If you're going to open this pf, you gotta get it in here. This is one of the best flops you can see with your hand.

I wet myself in excitement trying to click the all-in buttons without spazzing out. SNGs are not about getting away from TP2K 20 BB deep where the reward for winning is Gigapwning the bubble.

A few things.

1. I have a personal policy of shoving everytime I min-raised unless the board looks super bad or the villain is ubertight.
2. Based on this board I'd say that the villain is very likely to pump A9/K9/QJ/JT/4 flush/combo draw.
3. The stacks are a little awkward to raise 2.5Bbs here. I'd fold pre-flop.

On balance... please RRAI.

Fold preflop.
As played you definitely have to push, there are chances he hit a set but most probably he is on a mid pair and doesn't believe in your J.
if he shows 99 or AJ well...you should have folded PF! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i think i fold pf, but get it in on that flop

A few have mentioned folding this pre-flop. Here are a few reasons why I like that idea...
1) An open raise from this pos. looks like a steal, and villains will be apt to call with a much wider range and possibly suck out.
2) Being this close to the bubble, you don't want to take a chance against the big stack (BB at t3780) with a hand like KJ. Wait for a better spot, and let the villains beat each other up in the meantime.

As it was played, I like to shove the flop also.
