its a good board to c-bet, at this stage of a sng he shouldn't have much of a draw except with a hand like Acxc. You cant not bet it just incase he has a king thats far too weak, you played it exactly how i would have done.

all in why bet 400-500? i think i shove here.

I would rather ingest a bottled monkey queef than shove all in here.

[thefairy]

why so? to be honest we dont know anything about the guy,stats? what would you do strick bet 400 and give urself questionable fold equity? or fold?

[nickstrick1]

yeah i'd bet like 422 and then fold to a raise Don't have to c-bet all in here and waste your stack if he's caught a K. Checking is not an option obvz

I have to agree both bet/call and bet/fold here are bad, as you would either have to bet 100 (WTF) or end up putting more than 1/3 of your stack in. If you check it must be to check fold (maybe the best hand).

The benefits of pushing are a) he might fold a baby pair, b) you probably have the best hand here about 40-50% of the time, c) you got an overcard, runner-runner flush draw, runner-runner straight draw, what more could you want? So I reckon FE + E = worth pushing.

What was the structure by the way, if it is turbo I would be all-in pre. If the blinds are 10+ mins long I wouldn't mind raising 3x pre and shoving a lot of flops.

this will probably be stupid but i will say it anyway. i would shove fold pre because we only have 13BB and its awkward stack sizes and stuff. but then what do i know about sngs

Trouble with shoving pre is that with the stack sizes of the table (no one that stacked) we are only going to get called when behind really, and also the reward of shoving isn't that great 1300 to win 150, i don't like this. With the stack sizes as they are, my cut off point for shoving is 8bbs as we still have considerable fold equity at this point, If i am a lot shorter compared with the rest of the table then I think 10/11bbs is more suitable.

How else are you going to play it?
