Message: [QUOTE="Stick66, post: 367539, member: 7928"] Regarding the pre-flop play: You played right in theory, but let me share something I learned the other day about pre-flop raising. Early $5 SnG; blinds 5&10; I get QQ mid position & raise to 100 (10x BB). SB calls with 77 & hits a set. Since 7 was the high card on the flop & I wouldn't have put her on a low pair, I go all-in & lose. What I learned is that some players don't think in relation to the size of the blind, especially early while the blinds are small. They think "100 (or 105) is not much. I'll try to hit the flop." Probably a raise of 250 or more would have scared away these chasers & you and I might have been a little richer now. (BTW, his all-in on the flop was a donk play. You were ahead & made the correct call. He was semi-bluffing an 11-to-1 shot & got lucky.) [/QUOTE]
