This should be posted in the SNG section.

I raise more pre, and I begrudgingly get stack in after being raised on the flop.

Thanks. Is there a way I can move it to the correct location?

No I don't think you can move it, but a mod probably will.

I raise to 180 pre, bet nearly pot on the flop and get it in vs a raise.

with 2 spades and all low cards you have to hope he is semibluffing on a spade draw or straight draw (more likely spade draw), but with KC1998 left to act after you he might have something like 9 with q,j or 10 kicker, or pair of 9's in his hand. but anyway between the smooth call of KC1998 and an all in from mauriciorubatto makes double the chances of one of them having 2 pair or trips already. the preflop action was pretty weak by the two opponents though so i wouldnt put either on aa, ak, qq, kk (same as your hand), aq probably not either.so folding makes since because even if you are lucky enough to not already be beat by one of them, one of them might draw out on you. 2 chances of already having the losing hand plus chance of being drawn out on means there are a lot of ways to lose. Pick a better spot. Youre bets were Ok because you can still get away from it if someone gets a monster. Side note I would probably call because its early in the tournament and I'm a donkey that looks like an elephant

how did it turn out anyways, you can PM me if you want with general details, you dont have to paste your hand history.

ok well it looks like the advise has run it's course and it seems I probably should have raised more on the pre-flop. (will keep that in mind next time). I raised 4X BB... should I have raised more because of the amount of limpers? I thought 3-4x BB was a normal raise for this hand? Any insite on this would be great.

The result was this...

I push all my chips in..
KC1998 folds...
mauriciorubatto(donkey for short) flips over 8,6 o/s

so at the flop he seems to think a pair of 6's w/ 8 kicker is a strong hand. Normally one would love this but we all know what is coming.

The remaining flop 9,6,3, 10, 7

so I end up with Pair of K's
mauriciorubatto ends up with a str8.

Needless to say I was pretty pissed... was down to about 320 chips or so.... managed to keep my cool even tho. I was pretty upset and finished 2nd behind mauriciorubatto who had most of my chips. LOL

Thanks for the advise guys

Thanks for the advise Ozzy... I'm still trying to figure how to use the damn forum so I can't seem to get my reply to look like yours... all broke down nice and neat...
So I'll just reply this way until I figure it out..

I never heard the additional BB per caller. It seems like sound advice and I plan on implamenting it into my game.

Your good! After the beating I took he wrote back to me saying he thought I had an A something and that I missed my flop... still think it was a donkey call on his part... "I may have called him a donkey at some point... not really sure... with how pissed I was. LOL"

I realize this is the kind of call we want and will win more often than not just sucks when it goes against you... I felt like I played it right but I wasn't sure... that is why I decided to post it... come to find out I really didn't and should have pushed harder pre-flop...

I was able to pull it together because I thought to myself... I still have 300+ chips... blinds are low and I can sit on a good hand. meanwhile they prob. think I'm desperate and settling for any decent hand... I made it a challenge to make it ITM... I actually wanted to beat his *** but it didn't happen... it was his 7,000 to my 2,000 chips... HU isn't my strong point. LOL I tried like hell tho...

Again Ozzy thanks for the sound advice and taking the time to give it. Can't wait to try the new additional BB advice.. Smile

Just another weapon that will hopefullly help me...
