Sng hand

[Rockymv]

Should I have suspected a set here? I was sure I had the best hand on the turn, so I tried to make it look like I had been bluffing on the flop. Maybe I shouldn't have been in the hand at all. BTW, this was a much tighter sng than I'm used to.

I wonder if a re-raise preflop would've made a difference.

That call on the turn would've made me very suspicious.
Folding to his/her re-raise might have been a better idea.

Looks like a bad beat. You had top two pair, and the other player played his set very good. No overbetting and keeping you in play. I would have put him on high pair with top kicker or 2 medium pairs.

preflop I would have folded my QJo. Really I woudlve, the blinds are tiny and not enough limpers before you. FOLD PREFLOP. Harrington says to fold as well, and Harrington never lies.

The Queen on the turn really messed up ur predicament. It made you think you had a good hand. Fold your QJ preflop. Dont raise with you QJ preflop.

Question to you, if your Q never came out, would you have played the hand the exact same way?

[Rockymv]

Nah, I was ready to fold if I couldn't take it down on the flop. Lost too many hands like that.

[aleksandr]

I think you played it well, and I think he played it better. Also, like the man said, no reason to play vulnerable hands like QJo early in an SNG

[drmcboy]

I think you're destined to go broke here.

[Grand_MasterB]

early in a SNG or tourney ill gamble with mediocre hands like this when it cost me almost nothing of my stack to limp in.

Since he was just check calling the whole way i would have probably thought him for a flush draw or pair with weak kicker... i actually like the check-raise on the river. I do this alot to give players who i put on a draw a chance to bluff and then raise them.

Just got unlucky... im not sure why he never raised the flop or turn but it worked out well for him
