$4.40 180-man SnG - Queens facing overbet on low flop

[trishan]

Spoiler:

I thought the overbet smelt of weakness like an AQ or AK or maybe a smaller pocket pair like 66,77 that does not want to see a difficult turn card. I jam and he calls with KK.

I think you have to think of the consequences of your actions. In this situation (stacks & blinds)- i assume you were puzzled with his bet - try and make 'fold' your default play. If you 'guess' wrong - it's curtains.

I think if your short stacked, you could be forgiven here (can be the right play) - tilting is no excuse however.

Also, if you are hesitant to 4bet, try and decide what you are gonna do on a safe flop and commit to it.

I think you should have bet on that flop - and i am sure in hindsight you agree (probably would have cost you a little not alot to work out you were beat - unless he check called you to your death that is ).

Why DID you check that flop? Slowplaying gone pear shaped?

I checked so I could check-raise as that is a very safe flop for me. Then his overbet confused me a little. Would someone with KK or AA or even a set overbet the pot on the flop? Then I thought what kinda hands might do that, possibly a small pair that doesn't want to see an over card or perhaps AQ,AK,AJ.

There is no denying it is an unorthodox way to play KK, perhaps a rule of thumb needs to be drawn up.

Only MAKE bizarre overbets, NEVER call them*
