Early in a SNG TPTK

AcidJoe · December 2006

Is the push on the flop the correct move? I usually play tptk as if it's the nuts early since so many people call with worse (which is what happened here). Lately I've been bubbling so many times I'm beginning to wonder. Or should I up my raising standards but be prepared to fire again large if I miss?

wow. look at the crap they are calling you with! which makes me think you are just as likely to be up against 2pr here.

I wanted to get heads up against the short stack but was shocked the other came along for the ride. 2 hands later I flop a set of deuces with a flop of 2 4 10 rainbow. I re raise the pot bet all in get a caller with AKo with him hitting 3 then 5 for the straight. Avoid the suckouts and you'll make large money LOL.

not that its relevant, but didn't the two losing hands also have two pairs (not a pair of aces as indicated); I guess the software doesn't distinguish hands when you win with a better kicker.
