Hey... first of all.... can i post micro buy-ins here? I just wanna get better. Thanks.

$4.40... 180 SnG... Poker Stars.

My only read on the guy was that i saw him call a river AI with KTs... in that hand the board was J 5 3... T... 6. Someone pushed their last 1010... he called and won. So... not much of a read really.

ok - first of all - your minraise on that flop could be really bad for you.

If he has a hand like TJd, JKd, etc, you are actually playing the hand for him.

Raise the turn... and DON'T minraise!!

Once he bets, the pot has 4900. If he had checked the turn, how much would you have bet? Bet that amount.

I prolly raise to about 3k.

sorry maybe i shoulda just posted the whole hand.

i did raise him on the turn another 1600 to make it 2600. he folded.

basically, you are confirming that this is not a good place to trap someone... unless you are 100% sure they are holding A7o.
