So I entered a 1.10 sng for kicks. I never played draw before and luckboxed my way into HU. how is this play?

Tournament: Pot Limit 5 Card Draw (75/150) (converter)

Hero (4165), Seat 1
BB (4835), Seat 6

Hero posts 75. BB posts 150.

Hero is SB with [5d Th 2h 9s 5c]

Round 1: (225)

<font color="red">Hero raises 300 to 450. </font><font color="green">BB calls. </font>
BB takes 3. Hero discards Th 2h 9s.

Hero has [5d 5c Jh Ac 5h]

Round 2: (900)

<font color="green">BB checks. </font><font color="red">Hero bets 300. </font><font color="red">BB raises 1530 to 1830. </font><font color="red">Hero raises 1870 to 3700 (all-in). </font><font color="green">BB calls. </font>

I'm guessing he showed you higher trips, since most players aren't calling your preflop raise with a pair lower than yours. If you are lucky, he made aces up or kings up.

Lacking any info about your villain, I guess this comes down whether you want to play longball (shove and hope your hand is good) or small ball (call and rebuild your stack if you are wrong, grind him out if you are right).

id just call the c/r

either we still have a stack we can fight with or we have a big CL and can grind him down

im just not a fan of putting a lot of chips in when in a spot such as this

though everything else is standard i believe, but betting more would have made the decision easier for you

You probably should fold.

As mentioned, you were probably beat before the draw to
start with. Your raise predraw was correct, since you
should have the best hand predraw with a probability of
930521/1533939=0.606622 (and some players might muck 66 in
the BB here) and you are risking 375T to win 225T (relevant
ratio is 0.625).

After the draw, your opponent makes an unusual CR (it's
usually incorrect versus a 3 card-draw unless you value bet
hands such as KKA or AA often; it's PL, so you can't value
bet as often as in limit). It's very unlikely a typical
opponent will be bluffing here, and it's also likely that
he has aces up or better. Fortunately, you caught an ace,
so the laydown should be easier. That being said, you
would have to weigh the chances your opponent has kings-up
and the chances that he would make a CR bluff as well. If
there is any reasonable chance he could have one of those
type of hands, you should call.

Your all-in play is a clear theoretical error as even if
your opponent's legitimate hands are kings-up or better, he
is a favorite to have the better hand against 555 postdraw.

It depends on how bad your opponent is. I think he's very unlikely to be bluffing, but if his 2 pair frequency is high enough you might be ok calling his check raise. I doubt you have the best hand &gt;50% of the time, so going all in is bad.

A check raise in draw usually means a monster
