looks fine as long as you called river imo.

I put him on AsXo, a jack, or a busted draw. I really cant see a hand that beats you taking this line tbh. I would breifly consider shoving, but how often is a worse hand going to call? not to mention no stack sizes given.

Stupid converter. 100bb stacks.

Is there any value in shoving the flop? It seems like the logical play to me, as a Q,T,8, or spade makes our hand nearly impossible to play. That being said, I only play SNGs.

EDIT: meant to say shoving the flop.

[MasterLJ]

I like how you played it, now call river.

[Somekid]

I guess I should rephrase my comment. Why are we calling the flop? And how do we play if a Q,T,8, or spade falls on the turn?

if you get it in on this flop, best case scenario you are flip. The rest you are drawing to 4, or 2 outs.

I call river for sure. I might actually raise to 76.00 on the flop and shove the turn though too.

[pureklas]

I felt that raising the flop would result in getting hands that beat me to shove (sets, str8, flushes) and hands with decent equity against me to shove such as combo draws (flush and str8; flush and pair). i felt a safe turn would be a much better option. If others think that raising the flop is better can you explain to me your reasons. Thanks.

It is the kind of flop where people always have the nuts when they raise you. I guess he had T8? I like how you played it. I would play it the same way, but I wouldn't be thrilled about calling. It is a crying call on the river.
