SNG so no real read on opponent. My thought process was that my raise PF could get him to fold. If he jams I'm committed with a better than average hand.

He really gave me shit for this, calling me a donkey and such. But I think I played it fine. He has to have AK2 or AQ2 or somehting like that to really have me screwed.

Flame on!

A.) convert your hand please
B.) looks kind of marginal preflop, id flat pre to be honest, we are OOP with a decent hand and are short, use first in vigor man, this is an openable hand, but im not going balls deep like this, but it is not horrible, so flat
C.) i guess you postflop is fine but you left nothing behind, we have a bad low draw and a marginal high,... eeehh

Why you saved the last 240 makes no sense to me, you made a read and went with it, which is good, but I will agree with the rest and say it wasn't really necessary. I think villain's call is worse.

It was blind against blind, so I was in position when the action got to me

Also it's PL so I don't think I was able to go all-in

so just flat and see a flop then,.... the move makes no sense to me to be honest, flat or fold pre, raising at all unless you were just so sure villain would shove, and shove pretty light could be ok, but it is kind of a high variance thing to do even if you are right, it is so hard to have that strong a hand preflop in plo8 to be able to 3bet and call a 4 bet this short..... thats just my honest feeling

Rumsey, sorry man but you're completely off with this flat-or-fold nonsense here. Its bvb and we have a very good hand. You prefer to put in 1/3 of our stack and then fold if we dont hit? That's nonsense man.

OP, nh. Well played.

Dude. I don't want to be a dick, but your omaha slash omaha/8 advice is dangerous.

You are blind vs. blind in a SnG that is at lvl 7. A35Q double suited in the face of a raise is definitely 3 betting all in. NH

Your opponent is a douche. He feels that you should be folding since he's the big stack and you don't have nut route of AA or A2 pre. He's a joke. Now if this was lvl 1 and the same thing happened I prolly don't 3 bet, but in this situation. No doubt.

It's not just his Omaha or O8 advice that's dangerous. He really tries to make it sound like he knows his stuff but it's always off-base, in NL Cash, SNGs, MTTs, everything. And he never replies when I call him on it either.
