    Default How would you play this?

    This hand is driving me nuts. At first I thought I played it correctly and just got sucked out, but as I go over it in my head I'm not sure anymore if I may have played it wrong. Would you slowplay this?

    Final table 2-table SNG 6 players left

    EP(1400 chips)
    MP(3300 chips)
    Me(3600 chips) on BB

    blinds 100/200

    ME:

    EP and MP call
    Me check

    FLOP:

    ME: Check
    EP: Check
    MP: Bet 200
    ME: Call
    EP: Fold

    TURN:

    ME: Check
    MP: Bet 200
    ME: Min Raise
    MP: Min Raise
    ME: ALL IN
    MP: CALL

    River:

    Should I have bet out the flop here and taken the pot or should I have slowplayed it like I did? I'm not sure with his over pair if I would have gotten him off the pot, but he might have been scared of the trip 10's. Was this one of those hands that if you didn't lose your stack you played it wrong?

    Yeah, unfortunate.

    I think maybe the all in is a bit over the top here, maybe betting half his stack and he might push the river, still forcing you to call, meh. But I like this play also.

    If you don't lose all your money in a situation like that, then you're playing too passively.

    My first thought was that ... well, you just lose all you money here.

    But I'm not so sure the All-in on the turn was the best move. There is 2000 in the pot... I am trying to put him on a hand at the turn. Flop bet could just be a steal... but the min bets/raises are so weak.

    Ah, it doesn't matter. Even if you call the turn, you are going to push the river, and with the 2nd nuts, he's going to call.

    You can't reraise all in on the flop - that's just throwing chips away. On the turn only JJ or case T beat you.

    Exactly, how did you play the hand wrong? I would have never guessed him to have JJ with the preflop action. He got lucky catching his card...

    You got pokered in the rear.

    I think only a J wouldve helped the other guy. Another ten wouldve been quad tens. So the man had all of 2 outs.
