I'll be the first to admit, I think I played this poorly.

I bet 3xBB preflop hoping to get the blinds to fold and the limper to dance - that worked.

The flop looked harmless so I thought giving a free card to entice a Kx turn bet would work.

The turn presented danger and I definitely don't think I bet enough here.

Villain moves all in on the river. A lone 7 completes the straight, there are two pair and set possibilities (seeing as the preflop raise was minimal).

It is a cheap tourney and I have no reads on the player - what do you do?

[sabes99]

you must bet this flop, you are letting worse hands draw for free and not maximizing value against hands you beat...K-x will pay you off right here, why wait for the turn when he might be able to draw out on you?

you should have made a pot-sized bet on the turn imo, that board is kinda drawy esp against a limper

fold river

mmmmmmkay don't get cute eith aa in a micro sng. i'll almost always half 1/3 my stack in the pot by the turn. I'm raising 4X maybe 5X bb preflop, betting a lil over pot on flop, then shoving or committing myself on the turn that's my standard line. The way you played it you fold river.

This may be the first time in history a raise to 60 early in a low limit SNG has gotten *both* blinds to fold. That's the most amazing aspect of this hand.

As played, I only call that river shove if there is something interesting coming up on television.

You have a limper usually they dont like to fold in these sng's so raise it up to 4xbb minimum I probably pop it 5x and play the hand fast on the flop and turn. As played its a tough spot on the river, but the real mistakes are made before the river in this hand imo.
