hello, i would really appreciate your thoughts about the following hand.

i tried to steal the blinds with J 9, some guy reraised me, i called and hit top pair.he bets and i raise him trying to force him out. i thought maybe he had A K or something. the way he played it now i think he had something like QQ-AA. what would you do on the flop?


thanks for your answers

 would have flatted the flop and see what card peels off on the turn and look what he´s doing there...

i rm not sure if i  like a r/f there

though spot though, if you raise the flop you prolly neet to call a shove 

but i have been in the same spot with these kind of hands...not an easy spot for sure..

therefor you should prob have a tracking software Wink so you can figure out how your opponent hast been playing which affects your desicion

theres so much equity in folding here i think, its not a good idea to be involved in such a large pot with marginal holdings this early in a sit n go

 Stealing at 40-80 eh...Anyway, ya I think you gotta just take a card w/o getting too attached to your hand.  And fwiw you can play pretty straightforward at these levels w/o putting yourself into too many guessing games.

 I don't play many sngs, but is stealing blinds at this level really a good play?

If anything minraise.

play weak OOP. and just check the flop. see what he does.


if he raises flat and reevaluate turn.



if he checks lead out turn.
