flop play early Small pair 18man SnG

so I make a weak call from the BB with a pair of fives. Flop comes with an ace and a gut shot, lead out or check fold (or what I actually did...)

Comments

  • to hit a set or a 4 outer on the turn you have 6 outs time 2 = 12% chance

    thats around 1 in 10 chances i think

    so you need to make somewhere around 10 times your investment for it to be profitable

    200 x 10 will be 2000 and you don't really even have that many chips behind...and you might not stack your opp.

    ^^^^ is that right?

    set it and forget it i think, checkfold any no setted flops. nitty sng player might even fold pre
  • preflop call to set mine is fine. i would fold to the flop bet here (but i've never hit a gut shot in my life).
