Hey, I'm new to the 0,25$ 45man sng's and grinding them to build a roll. Got into this Spot and I really don't know how I played it. Would someone tell me his thoughts about it??? Villain was limping often so I thought I could iso with J9s here. Is the c-bet okay? Ott I thought the K fits more in my range so I fired a second bullet. Otr I didn't really know what I should do.

i would personally not iso with J9s with this stack depth. allthough its not unreasonable. But if i would do it, i would shove pre.

on the flop you have several options. A shove is not bad i think. Check behind seems also reasonable. If you bet so small as you did, and villain jams you have a kinda of gross call. Also villain probably wont fold his Ax hands vs such a bet. You are doing very badly against better FDs. So i would prolly open jam flop. Dont know if thats good though.

as played: fold river.

ps. this is chip ev advice. i am a 180man grinder. dont play these.

Yeah, I prefer just limping behind - see a flop multi-way in position with J9s.

It looks like there's about 14 left with the top 7 getting paid so the situation is not yet radically different to a 180.

Other than that - if you hit this kind of flop with these kinds of stacks try to get it in over two streets (maybe 3/4 pot twice) rather than 3 because it's too easy for villains to keep calling these small bets.

PRE: Normally would fold pre. Villains are so bad in these limits that there's no need to keep leveling or balancing. Play ABC poker and you should be fine. Limping behind is an option, keeping the pot small and playing J9s IP with these stacks is nice.

FLOP: C-bet/call all the way. We have hit a strong flop for our hand (gutter, flush draw and two overs).

TURN: Well, this isn't the best turn for us, but since we opened pre and bet flop, it's ok to take another shot at it and fold to a raise. On the other hand, we didn't hit our draw, the board is becoming very wet and villain already called us on the flop (keep in mind that these fishes call down with weak pairs and sometimes never let them go, so bluffing river is not a good option here) so we could check to realize our hands equity. I think both lines has its merits. In these stakes maybe I would prefer to check.

RIVER: Easy fold. In these stakes you'll almost never be good calling a donk half-pot river shove with second pair in a connected board.
