I think you played it fine on the river. An allin might not be a bad idea though, cuz you would probably get called by anybody (anyfish) with a J.

But I play it the same as you.

[Staple Gun]

I do the same, an AI might even scare out a jack with the paired board + flush chance + AJ chance.

I agree - didnt see that there were 3 hearts on the board. An allin on a flush board will even scare the fish from calling with a lone J for the straight!

u played it good, i dont see why he called the flop with J 2

[elanto]

ok the end result was a good one but you didnt play the hand very well IMO...first of all be aggresive, raise pre flop here..dont limp with TT. Now the flop is a little scary and you only bet 20?? bet higher and you would have taken it down there..the river bet was nice b/c even though it was high it seems like a bluff..

not how i play my sngs early. I am very tight and will not raise tens with more then 2 limpers because raising does not get my opponent out of the pot alot of the time. Something like this would happen my opponent will call and the guy to his right will call and the flop comes KJ5 and I have no idea where I stand. Anyway, I would not criticize anyone who chooses to raise with tens, but I dont get agressive til the blinds are at 50/100 or 75/150.

btw anto i did not bet 20 on flop i called 20.

btw anto i did not bet 20 on flop i called 20.

oh yes youre right srry...I guess if you like to play sort of passive early its ok, bot methods of play work, I just like being the agressor.

[drmcboy]

all streets standard. Only thing to recommend an AI play is if it gets called once, it's better than getting called here 4 times... but I think you're more likely to get the 300 called 4 times.

[STIdrivr]

the only reason i dont mind limping with the TT here is that you are going to have to act first on the flop.

Do you keep your hand histories in poker tracker? If so, I'd be interested in your stats with TT early on in a SNG.

[elanto]

no I dont keep any HHs srry
