    This was during a 6-max SNG. The Calling station limped in early position and the TAG raises in the cut off, I then called his bet in the small blind. I caught middle pair and bet half the pot, the CS instantly folds and the TAG is frozen for a while, but calls after a long think. I then catch a second pair on the turn and bet 3/4 of the pot and the TAG instantly moves all in, which given his actions up till then made no sense. I'm curious to know how anyone else would have played it.

    Wow, this is really bad.

    First off, fold pre.

    Second, after you call a marginal hand oop after a limp and tag raise, leading that flop is probably equally as bad as calling oop pre. I wouldnt ever lead that flop. Then somehow you get guy to stack you w A hi when you hit 2 pair.

    Seriously, this hand is awful. What exactly is the point of you posting this?
