Default NLTRN Top Pair issues...

I know this is entirely dependent on your opponent and reads, but how often are you willing to stackoff with top pair, mediocre kicker? For example, you raise T9s and flop is T 7 3 rainbow. You have an opponent that has many traits of a bad player, they seem fairly aggressive but not manaical, but you haven't seen them do anything too outlandish yet. Are you stacking off here? What if they have, for example, floated you on the flop and potted it on the turn at least a few times or something? This is for low limit SNGs. I realize my post is vague but I think overplaying top pair might be one of my leaks but it's hard to tell since most of the players at my level are just so bad.

Individual opponent reads aside, I think it depends on how they go about building the pot and the texture of the board. Generally speaking though, you probably want to do everything you can to keep the pot small. I'd probably be reluctant to get it all in unless I have a good read or the board is especially drawy (again, with a read). Also I'm assuming you're referring to larger effective stack. When the blinds are higher tp is a lot better.

In the 33s I would be happy to get it in with most any top pair.

In the 110s it's not so much... but the reads come into play so much more often.

Yeah, after what I've been seeing recently in the $6s I'm pretty much willing to stack off with any top pair ... had a guy min 3 bet with bottom pair top kicker ... so yeah ... they suck.
