Here a hand for you to discuss happened in a SNG I was playing on Bodog. I will tell you what the other player had when I get a few replies to this thread. So I would like your opinon of whether I should have limped in, did I play the betting rounds right. Should I have called the all in bet & what you think the other player had

So, everyone limped... anything goes, any kind of cards can be held by anyone. Humm, I don´t know anything about the players, no notes, no idea of what kind of players they are.
It seems that maybe larry, hit a straight with a Q 7 and maybe tried to slowplay, but we don´t know much because after the flop there was no high raise to test grounds. Another possibility is that Larry limped in with A rags and also hit a flush. But then again noone made a test bet to see how people´s hand were. Last but not least, he might have tried to win the pot by bluffing, but I definately believe that he had a straight at least, due to the board.
How did I do?
hummm If you posted this to receive feedback, I think larry had a higher flush!

GJmetal I would like to give you more info on the players but I don't really have much on these players. We lost two players early one thanks to me which is why I had that amount of chips. Generally speaking this betting pattern was standard no big bets at this stage with the blinds still being low & no-one was risking their stack much (with exception of this hand). The fodz I will post the answer tomorrow on what his hand was all I will say is that your couple of guesses is that you are on the right lines

Ok great, I´ll check it out when you do post it.
(ok, thinking about it, he could even had trips, holding a small pocket pair, two pairs maybe... but the board was so obvious for flush or straight that I don´t believe this guy could have risked his whole stack with a bluff, or even a high pocket pairs even though he limped.) So I still have to stick with the most simple answer... flush if he won, all the other suggestion I made if he lost.

Ok I lost the hand, Larry228 held Ac Qc. He hit the striaght on the turn knowing that it could get a flush on the river. I didn't think he had two clubs so I lost half my stack to that hand. No worries though I still went on to win the SNG

You may not have got the exact hand he held but that is difficult to know exactly what his two pocket cards are, but the guess were acurate with a striaght or a higher flush. It is difficult to work out what players have on Bodog on low stakes because they don't bet big most of the time. Its a double edged sword sometimes you win with a pretty lame hand & other times you have your nice hand beaten by a monster hand

Very nice to hear that even after losing half of your stack, you still won the SNG! In regards to the hand he had, most likely was straight or flush. Thanks for posting and hope we can comment on more hands!

Certainly I will the fodz there have been lots of occasions where I've lost on hands & would like to know if I was unlucky or whether I played the hand wrong, so if anything else comes up on the tables I will put it up on this forum
lol your play is so bad... you can't play SnG with this play you can't risk chip, you play only AA AK KK AQ(middle,button, blinds) and pairs just limp to flop a set and that's it... see some vod's or read something this is very bad game...

Basically there were 5 of us in the hand so a lot of high cards were in other peoples hands so I was quite safe to limp in on the flop. I should have folded on the river with the all in bet but I took a risk & lost. I still won the SNG with my style of play. I would have folded pre-flop if there had been a raise. You can't just play the hands you mention you have to take a risk on suited connectors especially if the table is limping in preflop. It allows flops to be seen cheaply which means people holding A Q suited can be beaten on the flop because of this. I don't mind constructive critism but you are coming across as arrogant, everyone has their own style of play & mine works for me
rags and also hit a flush. But then again noone made a test bet to see how people´s hand were. Last but not least, he might have tried to win the pot by bluffing, but I definately believe that he had a straight at least, due to the board.
