Fnord says he check-raises the flop when blind-defending in limit. Here it looks like a good play.

What's the buyin/site/structure? How far from the money ect ect

Also, where did you run into all this money?

I'd vote for lead out on the flop, folding to a raise. Clearly on the turn you're looking to get your money in.

Pre flop the call is OK, depends on reads. You've got enough chips you can gamble some here. Folding OK too.

when people do this to me i auto raise them, thinking they only bet out so they could fold to a raise.

Unless I have a read that the guy is a blind stealer, i give him credit for a hand and fold preflop. No need to get invoved out of position. Given you called it, I check raise his ass on the flop.

I often find myself thinking the exact same thing.

good hand, I think check call the flop then decide what to do on the turn is ideal. Here, you two paired it, so i'm arr in

you're saying you would always re raise AK there after the blind leads into you?

Little more background... im 10th out of 67 left in this large $50 freezout on stars, ITM starts around 50th but of course im gunning to win, my 5th hand at the table and he had raised preflop in 4 of them. Rilla.... I kill sngs, ggs!!


I'll let some more guys post then ill post results tonight.

If it's only a 50 buyin, why is it in here?

-'rilla

Yeah, I was leaning towards folding preflop, until I noticed it was suited, which does make a pretty big difference with a hand like QJ, at least in terms of post flop playability. Depending on the table dynamic, I may have folded it preflop, but if I called, I probably would've played it exactly like you did.

I'm guessing he either bad beat you on the river or he whined about the hand for hours, calling you a fish, for sucking out on him on the turn. Either way, its a well played hand.

yes michael he had KK and the river was a K... but the point was I played it well, thx for the help guys, and why shouldnt a $50 freeze be in here? :-S

If $109 and $215 SnGs are in here, shouldn't $50 MTTs be as well?

He's been quietly slaughtering SnGs up to the $500 level. All on a $50 stake I gave him last summer. GG.
