Here's a hand that I'm questioning because the flop shouldn't have hit too hard...I don't think. I was thinking either AK or a big pair/mid pair. Or he loosely called on the flop with 55, 66, or 99. He's on the button and I don't have any reads on him yet...the mini re-raise also made me a little skeptical.... good fold or too safe?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t15/t30
9 players

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1500
UTG+1: t1515
MP1: t1515
Im_new: t1455
MP3: t1455
CO: t1650
Button: t1530
SB: t1380
BB: t1500

Pre-flop: (9 players) Im_new is MP2 with Q A
3 folds, Im_new raises to t120, 2 folds, Button calls t120 (pot was t165), 2 folds.

Flop: 9 5 6 (t285, 2 players)
Im_new bets t230, Button raises to t460, Im_new folds.
Uncalled bets: t230 returned to Button.

Results:
Final pot: t745

cool. I've been scared to post Q's in there because most of the stuff I'll ask will probable be pretty "beginner." But I guess I'll start posting there.

Thanks!

I'm the mod of the SNG forum and I will make sure that nobody criticises you for posting questions that are too beginner!

On your hand, I c-bet a bit less. A 160-180 bet folds every hand that a 230 bet does and saves you 50 chips if you have to fold (as in your case).

everyone's still learning. And "beginner", seemingly trivial questions often provoke a lot of debate. Nobody loses, your posts that I've read have been worthwhile. Post away
