EP $22: Make a move with bottom pair?

[daluchy]

I'd think a queen or ace bets the flop, but I wouldn't figure anyone for an ace w/no pre-flop raise.

Should I go with my pair of 2's on the turn?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Button (t1495)
SB (t3168)
daluchy (t587)
UTG (t403)
MP (t1477)
CO (t870)

Preflop: daluchy is BB with T, 2.
3 folds, Button calls t100, SB completes, daluchy checks.

Flop: (t300) Q, 2, A (3 players)
SB checks, daluchy checks, Button checks.

Turn: (t300) A (3 players)
SB checks, daluchy ?????

the q or a small pp could be out there, but i think this is a good spot to take a stab.

check it around; you only get called by better hands.

What's the buyin? At my level, I'd feel better about making a move if button had bet the flop. This feels strange.

One thing about play is you just have a feel for what's going on during the play. If you feel like you have a good play here, I'd bet (but not push). If you end up being up against a boat or quads here, then I would think your poker reads are raw.

he's shortstacked, likely has the best hand, and the pot would increase his stack by more than 50%.

Says $22 on the topic, hehe.

Yeah I totally felt like I should of bet, but the table was really tight to AI's pre-flop so I kinda felt like if this doesn't get checked down I can just steal some blinds with good pushes. I had an idea to go with it but I was kinda timit to do so.

I guess I need to trust my reads more.

Of course, but if I have the best hand the pot is mine...and I had a semi-good idea that I did and winning this pot would help me out tremendously.

I assume this guy is not looking at chip stacks.

Pot is very large compared to your stack and I feel you're good more than you're not. I'm all in.
