ever a bluff?

It's maybe the 10th hand of the torney, so no read yet.

Is this ever a bluff? And if not, shouldn't it be?

FWIW, when I called I was thinking A8. But obv. in hindsite I know I can't out him on that specific a range.

So to attempt the whole range thing.....

Qxs, Ksxs, Asxs, A8, TJ, T9, J9, Q9+, 44, 55, 88+, 67s.

Youch, I'm hardly ever ahead here, bad call by me. I guess I thought if you had either one of the straights or the flush then you would raise to more like 550 maybe to try and get a call.

I don't know where you get A8 from. As an unknown I would fold here. Preflop is also a fold given he's an unknown at these stakes imo.

You realize this is a sit'n'go right?

You could really go either way on the river. Tough spot. A lot of players do Clowny things in sngs.

I'd call here because his range is so weak and you may very well see a worse two pair.

I would not lead the flop though, I'd rather check and call.
