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.

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.
