Please don't post results...
I don't check the river, you have like what 700 left? Put the rest in on the turn anyway. flop and preflop is fine.

pot is easily big enough for turn all in

[jdubs]

more on the turn!

I don't check the SNG section very often, but from what I understand, you need to learn how to move on from "bad beats."

In fact, this wasn't a bad beat at all. The villain bet the pot on the flop with a flush draw, an over, and a gutshot. He had anywhere from 12-15 outs in his mind.

When he calls that flop it should be pretty obvious he is chasing/has outs and will call almost anything on the turn... so you need to push the turn (you actually gave him pot odds to chase his outs with your half size bet on the turn) since the pot has somewhere around 2400 and you only have 1800 left.

He then gave u a favor by not betting the river.
