$20+2 SNG with 6 minute levels on FTP<\/a>. 3 places pay.<\/p>\n

Blinds 40\/80<\/p>\n

I’m in the SB with JJ.<\/p>\n

SB: T1600 – StudioGlyphic
\nBB: T1600 – Probably my weakest opponent
\nUTG: T2800 – Solid player who is capable of stealing
\nButton: T7500 – Solid player who’s caught some cards<\/p>\n

UTG minimum raises to T160. Button folds.<\/p>\n

What should I do?<\/i>

\nHere’s what I did:
\nSB raises to T500. BB folds. UTG calls T340.<\/p>\n

Flop: A-x-x. Pot is T1080.<\/p>\n

What should I do?<\/i><\/p>\n

Here’s what I did:
\nSB bets T300. UTG calls T300.<\/p>\n

Turn: x. Pot is T1680.<\/p>\n

SB checks. UTG bets T800. SB folds.<\/p>\n

Ugh. This puts me in a bad situation. Fortunately I stay alive with some all-in steals and double up when the big stack takes a stand with QT against my KT (his gutshot straight started to worry me, though). Eventually the other short stack goes out and I make the money. I get no traction and go down with second pair to the big stack’s top set.<\/p>\n

But clearly the hand above is the point at which I blew my chances of finishing higher. What I believe I should have done on the bubble with 20xBB left, bad position against the raiser, and a hand that stands to be the favorite 4-handed, is re-raise all-in and make UTG decide whether he wants to take his chances in a coin-flip. <\/p>\n

The question is… if I missed the opportunity of pushing preflop, should I have pushed on the flop, or check-folded on the flop?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
