Two pair versus probable TP+ ($11 turbo)

    Default Two pair versus probable TP+ ($11 turbo)

    I played this one badly. I didn't get the bet sizing right at all.

    What's a good flop move here?
    Assuming we don't push the flop I should push the turn right?

    I'd assume many will not like pre-flop here, but in the situation I'm okay with that.

    Party Poker
    No Limit Holdem Tournament
    Blinds: t30/t60
    9 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: t1520
    Hero: t4430
    MP1: t3100
    MP2: t2000
    MP3: t1880
    CO: t1030
    Button: t3450
    SB: t740
    BB: t1850

    Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is UTG+1 with 6 A
    UTG folds, Hero calls t60 (pot was t90), MP1 raises to t120, MP2 calls t120 (pot was t270), 4 folds, BB calls t60 (pot was t390), Hero calls t60 (pot was t450).

    Flop: A Q 6 (t510, 4 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks, MP1 bets t300, 2 folds, Hero raises to t900, MP1 calls t600 (pot was t1710).

    Turn: T (t2310, 2 players)
    Hero bets t960, MP1 calls t960 (pot was t3270).

    River: K (t4230, 2 players)
    Hero checks, MP1 raises all-in t1120, Hero calls t1120 (pot was t5350).

    Results:
    Final pot: t6470
    Blah blah Op Blah blah

    Foooooold preflop from UTG with A-crap suited!

    As played, the flop is relatively dry, I don't mind the C-R here but I would make it 1200 to go. As you played the flop, just put MP1 all-in on the turn. As you played the turn, just shove the river, you're not folding here.

    Not even slightly tempted to see a flop with Axs when there are usually 4-6 limping to a flop?
    I'd say I would be fold-call-raising about 90%-5%-5% at this stage.


    You get 1200 from around PSB? 500 pot + 300 bet + 300 call? Or based on opponents stack?

    The river sucks, I felt I was surely beat here, but couldn't see a fold. Putting him on AT+ there's no good hand left here.

    shove turn easily, flop is okay given drawless board.

    preflop is awful.

    given this is a $11 turbo there are alot more hands that will call a bet on river that you beat, you would of missed out on alot of value on river if opp had of checked behind.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    You're a cash game player, aren't you? This play isn't so bad at a cash game but in SNGs, particularly single table SNGs, you need to play tighter early, so much so that it sometimes feels unnatural if you're used to preflop play in cash games. I am 100% folding this from UTG+1. If it was folded to me in the CO I'd either limp or raise it, definitely call if there are a number of limpers in front, but I'm never open limping this from UTG+1.

    Yes, I wanted to make about a pot sized raise here, maybe 1100 would do. The other thing is to build the pot so you can comfortably shove the turn without it being too much of an overbet.
