Has Hero Hit Henough

First level of a 9 man $6.50 turbo sng on PokerStars.

Now what?

I would make another bet of around 160-180 chips. I think its more likely that someone has QJ then A10 and 109 here. so if i get raised i would probably call that raise as i think i am ahead.

Bet 160. Evaluate after responses.

Not worried about many hands here. A set of 7s or 9c-Tc would be the main worries. AT seems less likely but someone could be drawing to a gutshot at this early point in a sng I suppose.

What are the blind levels in the turbos ie mins per level? That`s certainly going to be factored into my next decision.

I'm looking to check this down here
There are too many out draws to be playing a big pot out of position at such an early level
If it was kept cheap enough to see the river i would probly go there at least there is showdown value

Too many draws for my liking, check and fold the best hand to the over-bet which is bound to come in the early hands of a sng.

Nice!

No way do I check this. Post flop bet needs to be bigger. After the flop, the only hand better than yours is a set. If they want to chase their str8 or flush, make 'em pay for it. If you check the turn, you have learned nothing at all and at the same time given your opponents to either see a free one or bet you off the hand.

Turn comes, and i see there is now 2 flushdraws out there, i am not that concerned about the possibly made straight (AT, 9T)

Right or wrong i decide to check with an intent to raise after they bet out, and by that simply take down the pot at that stage

Laagen13

Those hands who beats you are a set. so after that turn action i would probably just push it all in. As i have said before, good chanse of someone have QJ, KJ or maybe K10 or something. The one you should be worried about i guess is the one who raises to 300. But still this is an fold/push situation and push it in!

I prefer betting out on the turn. If I get raised and decide to fold, I still have most of my stack. I don't see folding if I were to check and an opponent bet up to 200 or so, so I'd rather keep the lead on the hand. And they don't necessarily have very much, so firing again could win the pot right there. If either or both do show strength, I have the chance to re-evaluate.
