First let me say that I misplayed this, but I would like some input on how to approach hands like these. I don't have the exact readout from the site but here is the best I can do. The players at the table had been playing tight, and I had been successfully stealing blinds when play allowed. I was in the Big blind with A7o. UTG calls everyone else folds and I raise to 5x BB. He calls. Flop 66J, I put him on a low pp and fire a bullet and bet 1/2 pot. He "hesitates" and calls. Turn 6. Now I check to him. He checks. River J. Board 66J6J I check, He waits for awhile and goes AI. Now the pot has about 1/3 of my chips in it and calling would reduce me to about 1/10 my stack. Losing and I am almost out of the SnG. Giving him 1/3 of my stack by folding when a split is possible doesn't sound great either. So decision time....see in White below





I call and he shows Pocket Qs taking nearly all my chips. I had nothing and folding seems obvious to me now but he limped with Qs and that just threw me off. More realistically I should have put him on AJ or QJs, JTs, to call 5x BB and the continuation. I should have licked my wounds and layed it down and the more I talk about it the more apparent it seems ahh well. I wonder if a bet on the River would have made him worried about quads--probably not
