Firstly I would fold preflop. You don't really want to be stealing blinds at this stage. Some other members disagree but I think you should play AJ up from late pos. I am a nit at early and middle stages of sng. The flop bet would have been good on a A94 board. On a wet board I would bet 150 maybe 175. You didn't play it poorly. Cool video too

I don't think so necessarily. Who is on your left? Can you stand a reraise with it? Do you have the ability to lay it don't if you get reraised?

I hate A6 so much! I'd MUCH rather have A5 to make a wheel. You never know if your A is good based on your kicker.

I guess I'm saying this: If you have a read and know if they will fold, it doesn't matter what cards you have if they fold 2/3's the time on the flop (should they even call). But if they often reraise and you can't fold TP 6-kicker, then you probably could lose a nice-sized pot and shouldn't play it.

I'd fold to a reraise preflop.

I would fold if raised on the flop.

well, the only thing I didn't like in your play, is that I wouldn't raise at this time with this cards pre flop, I like to start the tournament with a tight image so you can steal more blinds when they are actually valuable, but after the flop I liked your bet as a test bet

In a cash game raise that yeah, in a SNG? No, just fold preflop at this point in the tournament. Blinds are too small to care about, no need to throw chips out with marginal holdings.

I think you did the right thing, I do not know how the other player to your left was playing.

You played it well but as most people said no need to play this kind of hand at this stage.Like what godoy said play tight early then steal when it is worth stealing.

I think you played it well from position. I would raise with it in position hoping to flop the nut flush and fold if met with any resistance after the flop missing the flush and having no draws.

You flop a flush once every 119 times. You don't flop it enough for it to be profitable

No one had opened the pot yet, so I would have played it the way you did. You got one caller, hit an ace, and then put in your continuation bet. Had he raised, I would have called if you had the right odds to do so, but would have folded to a large raise.

i would not play A6 suited at this moment.
I lost today with A6 suited at full tilt cc freroll but when the blinds were 100. Got the six on the flop but the opponnet got a flush on the river after the all in. I was at the button. at the cutoff i would not play it at all.

No one said anything about shoving on a wet board and all you hit was bottom pair.:eek:

I would fold if raised on the flop.

in this situation i agree with this statement completely, suited with A high would usually always play with the blinds still small but would not raise with a-6 suited... would fold if anyone raised
