I coudn't find the tournament ID to convert the hand history but I did share it on Boom. To avoid any problem I had to write the whole hand :stupid: . Because of that it may contain some errors.
This is a 90 players regular speed $0,25 SnG. I think that it's on the semifinal table. This player that I'm involved with on this hand just arrived on the table. I didn't have any information about how he plays at that moment.
He limps on UTG and everyone else folds, I'm in position with KJ, a reasonable hand to play. At this point I think that his range could have some low-middle pairs, some suited connectors (67, 78, 89, 910, J10), some High card with a weak kicker but I don't discard AA and KK that he could trap. I see some players at these stakes doing that.
I think that his range could be a lot wider than that, without information about him this is what I think that he could have based on my observations about the field in general.
So, I raise, he calls. The flop hits a lot of his range that I think that he might have, and thinking about that now, I don't think that it's a good ideia to cbet on that flop, but at the moment I thought that I could make some weak pairs to fold and some random Ah with weak kicker.
He calls and the turn is a good card for me, giving me top pair with good kicker.
I decided to check, thinking again about that I think it's better to bet and extract some value from some sort of draw (flush draw), a 5, 9 that has and open ended and a 10 that could also call.
I decided to check because that board hits a lot of his range that could have 2p or better (even a weaker J) and I had no reason to bluff, also that a weaker pair could fold if I bet.
I had showdown value and was trying to make my hand to look like a bluff, keeping his range wide to induce agression on the river from draws that could not hit. I could also make a small bet on the river to extract value from weaker pair that could want to hero call in case that he wouldn't bet.
The river brings a 2c, unless that he had pocket 2's, that card didn't change anything. I was expecting a bet on the river because my hand was looking like a bluff and when it happens I see a lot of agression because of that at these SnG's. Though he leads by betting the pot, leaving 3bb behind.
I think that he could have some missed draws and was trying to bluff me off the hand and that huge bet was really looking like a bluff.
For the rason that I had no information about him and that I thought that his range could have a lot of 2p hands I decided to fold, It was a weird hand that I think that I didn't play well.
How would you play this hand? What do you think that he had?
