    Default 2 pair on river (22 SNG)

    I decided to see this flop. I usually only play these from late position, thought I could get in without a reraise and called pre(if your only advice is fold preflop, then point already noted). Too early for reads, but sloopy quick called behind me on the flop, so I suspected he had a draw of some sort. Besides the call preflop, how is my line and would you have played it diff. ?

    The phone is ringing.... it's your bankroll calling... it says to stop that.

    Whoever suggested you should call routine pre-flop raises with s00ted connectors is my hero.

    The flop is meh. I hate the turn + river.

    So after you have called preflop, which you wouldn't, what is your line?

    Push the turn with half a baseball game worth of outs when everyone tells me they really aren't much interested in this hand.

    Thanks for respondong so quickly, while you are here, would you mind critiquing my thought process?

    Preflop - no need, i do not make a habit out of this.
    On the flop, the original raiser raises so I figure it is reasonable to put him on an A, with another left to act I don't expect to get folds w/a semi bluff and elect to call (I percieve having tons of outs here).
    On the turn I suspect that Sloopy is on a draw, in which case some of my outs are tainted. I figure him for the str8 draw because I have the hearts. When preflop raiser checks I decide to take my free card because it is early and I want to see what transpires behind.
    On the river, I put sloop on the str8 draw and it hit, he pushes, I believe I'm beat and fold.

    I see why you push the turn, original raiser was c betting and sloop was on a draw, this became clear for me on the river and now it's too late.

    That's silly.

    Perfect, so if we push then he'll fold... or maybe we push out the best hand and isolate against a really terrible call on a draw.
