I'm trying to make it a habit to post more content to keep things exciting. It's difficult being that I grind SNG's and lower limits playing ABC is the best strategy. Here is a hand from a $25 SNG that was an unusual play. Keep in mind I played it this way because of the stakes I was playing against a competent opponent. I would never make this play on lower limits. Checking could be fine too.
$25 SNG 9-Handed (Blinds 15/30 @1900 chips eff stacks)
Hero AJ Big Blind
UTG+2: $1925
HJ: $1950
Hero: $2740
UTG1 folds, UTG2 bets $75, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, HJ calls,
Hero calls $75
Effective Stacks $1,895
($240): A
5
4
Hero checks, UTG+2 bets $120, HJ raises $330,
Hero calls $330
I was playig 10 tables at this point and saw my hand and thought HJ called so I hit call while looking at a different table then realized what happened but I would of called regardless not that it changes anything. Its a dicey spot. Maybe fold is best, unsure.
Effective stacks $1,565
($1,020): 3
Hero checks, Villain checks
At this point the table had my full attention and noticed he snap checkd
Effective stacks $1,565
($1,020): 2
Hero jams $2,335 Villain folds.
If river wasn't 2 I prob would have bet pot size I think it would accomplish the same result an saves extra chips if hes on top of his range like a set etc but given the river card I would play a flush the same exact way
