Another interesting NHLE hand?

Question

Just happened to me: final table of a 45 player sng, top 7 places paid, 6 players remaining, blinds are 300/600. Table folds around to the button, who is the small stack. My hand is 10s 8c. Here's how the betting goes:

Button: 250 total all in

SB (me): 1500 total, call BB

BB: 1750 total, check

Flop and turn come down:

K Q J Q rainbow.

Ok, the button had A8, no flush possibilities. The BB had 97 no flush. The BB bluffs all in, and I call.

Here's how the hand breaks down:

If nobody improves or an 8 comes out, A8 takes the main pot of 750, and I take the rest with 2400.

If a 9 or Ace comes out, I take everything. If a ten comes out, the BB takes everything. If the board pairs or trips, the button wins 750 and me and the BB split the rest.

What actually happens: a 7 comes of the river, BB takes us both out, but I take 5th. Not a bad result, but an incredibly lucky draw by the BB, imho.

Answer 1

if you're gonna ask poker questions get the game right! Its NLHE you dummy!

Answer 2

BB was an idiot for just not checking it down

Answer 3

Interesting hand, but here is where I differ from alot of people when you are at the final table and I am short stacked like you were.  I would not have limped from sb.  I don't ever limp in the situation you discribed.  You would need a magic flop to even consider playing that hand, or calling after the flop.  While the bb played horrible, what were your thoughts in calling?  While you analyzed the hand, it was based, at least it looked like it, as an after the fact analysis.  There were just too many hands that beat you for you to have called the all in.  You still had 1200 (had you not limped in the sb) and you were going to have possition the next hand and decent possition for a couple of hands.  

This is just my oppinion I would have folded the sb and any ace or face the next couple of hands pushed, plus, why risk not finishing higher than gambling with an 10/8 os out of possition.

There are to many things wrong with this hand. First of all if blinds are 300/600 you would have better off just pushing all-in pre-flop or folding the hand. You have 600 in the pot pre-flop so you are pretty much pot commited. So no matter what the flop is you would have to push all-in and if the big blind has any part of the flop he is calling since he is also short on chips. But the hand is not all that crazy as far as draw outs. When a guy hits runner, runner to suck out in a monster pot, now thats pretty crazy, but good for you.
