Situational Poker
Here is an interesting situation for you.
Late in a 6 player SnG
Three players left, payout is two
You have 2600 chips
person to your left has 6900 chips
person to his left has 2500 chips
Blinds are 75/150, you are in Big Blind
Little bit of history before we get to this situation,
the guy to your right (two seats to your left) has been very aggressive
He bets when you don't show strength, he raises on draws.
The hand before this hand he lost a huge pot to the guy on your left when his AA was cracked by 6J.
He limps into the pot and you look down at 5c6d and check
The flop comes Kc2c6s
He bets $1000 into the pot.
What do you do?
a) put him on a better hand then you, more then likely the king and fold
b) put him on tilt figuring he has a flush draw, but fold because you are only 50/50
c) put him on tilt figuring he has a flush draw and raise all in
d) put him on an ace hoping that no-one hit the board and push all in
e) figure you have him beat but with the payout at 2 you would rather play it safe and fold
Leave your move in the comments and I will explain what I did and why and post the final outcome as well later in the week...

In this situation, I fold.
If you're ahead, he most likely has redraws to beat you (any overcard, flush draw, backdoor straight draw).
You're on the bubble, pot is small - why take the chance here? You played a crappy hand out of the big blind and failed to hit the flop hard enough to continue.
I say fold and wait for your opponent to make a bold move at the wrong time.
Also, his bet smells of a Kx type hand, although given his history, I'd also say there's a chance that he's holding two clubs.
>>figure you have him beat but with the payout at 2 you would rather play it safe and fold
Even if you are ahead how far ahead are you? Do you really need to risk everything on a pair of sixes at this point? I would be more likely to do so if only two of you were left.. you already made the money.. its HU and he has a lead on you.. screw being right, I would rather win.
I agree with what's already been said. I think you're ahead here, but I think you need to fold.
