AK second hand in a $1.20 SNG - flop QQK

[thejesusfish]

First of all i didnt reraise on the flop because there were so many limpers that i didnt think a reraise would take the pot straight away.

When the villain bet large on the flop i thought he wouldnt have a queen because most people tend to slowplay flopped trips. The min raise maybe wasnt great but i thought it would make it seem like i had a queen. Should i have just folded straight away, called the reraise or reraised myself preflop?

I 3bet and let them know I mean business, calling CO's weak raise is just inviting everyone to limp along. Even if you can't get everyone to fold PF, this can set it up for to take it down with a cbet.

With this many players to the flop it's very likely that one of them is holding a Q...But if I think he's bluffing I might call the flop bet and see if he fires again on the turn. He might think you're slowplaying a Q and decide to check it down (if he doesn't have one himself).

call one bet on flop, probably give up from there.

raising flop is the worst option, he'll fold everything you beat. Pretending you have a Q makes a lot of sense if you have nothing, it doesn't make sense if you have every other hand beat. We call that turning your hand into a bluff, which is this case is not what you want to do.

CC preflop is fine if your able to fold TPTK.

I think your head is in the right place here but made the wrong action. Instead of a flop raise just call (like drmcboy said) and re-evaluate turn. This is a spot where raising to see where your at is pretty spewy.

I think the biggest mistake is just flat calling CO's preflop raise. With that many limpers, I would raise it up big time (like 250 or so) to try to thin the field. Ideally you want to get it HU with CO and clear out the limpers. At a $1.20 everybody who limps is going to call as well.

On the flop, I agree with drmcboy, I would just call the bet and see what happens from there. If the action explodes after you, then get out pretty fast. With 6 opps in the pot, the chance of somebody having a Q is just too great.

[Rabid Dog]

why not just shove all in pre. weed out as many limpers as possible, even a weak Q and hopefully be HU against the CO.

You've got to raise it more preflop rather than just calling. He's makiing it 40 to go and your just flatting? You should reraise another 200 or so preflop. After the flop comes, bet into it but don't take uneccesary risks early in a sit'n'go so let it go fairly easily
