    Default What's My Line

    First hand of a $5.50 on Stars. How do you handle this? I can't see folding? Do you call and see a card on the turn?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button (t1500)
    SB (t1500)
    BB (t1500)
    Hero (t1500)
    UTG+1 (t1500)
    MP1 (t1500)
    MP2 (t1500)
    MP3 (t1500)
    CO (t1500)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, K.
    Hero raises to t80, 2 folds, MP2 calls t80, 4 folds, BB calls t60.

    Flop: (t250) 9, Q, 8 (3 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets t200, MP2 folds, BB raises to t420, Hero ???

    I want to get all my chips in here. I'd either shove over on the flop or call the minraise and get my chips in on the turn. I am pretty much never ever folding here.

    Not sure what happened to the "shove over" option in my original post.

    I agree that this isn't that tricky of a hand, however I am running so bad lately I am starting to question my own moves.

    I shoved, he called, showed 99 and they held up.

    GG me.

    Push, it would be a harder decision if you did not have the FD

    I'm playing 5+.50 and 10+1 SNGs and have been in the same scenario. I agree with the push considering the pp and the flush draw. I'm far from an expert but I like the play. I've also caught players representing the flush but having a lesser pp.

    Hang in there. Continue good decision making and you will break through. Everyone goes through these valleys.
