This is an 18 player turbo, suited ace in early stages is an instant call, for me at least. Flopped missed me, everyone checked though, and the turn gave me 4 to a nut flush. Villian bet out 60 into a pot that i think was 100, so i know i didn't have the proper odds to be calling (around 2.5-1 ona 4-1 draw), but those are the chances you have to take in these tourneys to make money. Anyways the river wasa complete blank. But tthen something caught my attention - he bet 160 into a 220 pot. That struck me as odd. I thought about it and what good hand would put out a bet that big? I called it as it was and fired out a big reraise and took it down. comments?

A monster that was slowplayed until the river... I've seen it time and time again, check check check check check, big river bet. I think the river raise is hugely spewing in the long run, and expect to be called here 80% of the time with stuff like KX etc...

The turn call is fine if you think you will be able to get paid off for a decent amount when the :diamond: hits, otherwise it's just spewing.

Strongly disgaree. Esspecially early in a sng. A lot of sng play is focused on preflop rather than postflop and it's all about making correct moves based on icm calculations and such.
