5.50 SNG First Hand

First hand of an sng, this is a thin value situation which I'm not sure I played correctly. I have three questions here:
1) Is my turn play alright?
2) If not what is the correct play on the turn and what do you do based on opponents reactions?
3) As played what do you do on the river?

Raise pf to 100, as played i'd just call the river i'd not be surprise one of these mongoloids hold 2 spades they love suited cards at micro.

I raise it to 200 and fold to a shove

never ever raise this preflop

just flat call the river

I see no reason to raise preflop, just call and try to play a large pot if you hit a set, and control the potsize and try to make good decisions if you don't. I would raise the turn to give someone with a lone spade or straight draw a chance to make a mistake. No one led at the flop, which somewhat lowers the chance in these tourneys that anyone started with a flush draw. I would flat river; in addition to the flush possibility, JT also got there. In general, "thin value" and "first hand of a single table SNG" do not go well together, which is a mistake I sometimes make.

100 preflop

nutshot why are you raising this pf?

i'd flat TT even there i think

im a sick nit in sng but in my experience at low sng where no one cares about your ranges for us to absolutely ever put any chips into a pot unless you're willing to bet all of them because losing even 200-300 chips hurts our stack considerably

He's late position and there's only 1 limper so far, no reasons to not raise. Not because they're bad means u have to play bad too, but again no need to go apeshit on the flop.

^this

Call pf
Call River

call preflop call river ;(
its weak but losing chips is way worse than winning chips is good

raise pf, raise turn, fold to shove.

CR you are flatting TT pre?

that really depends on my mood but it's not something i've not done before.

I really just wanted to get my point across that I think it's best to flat with 88 here

i pretty much always raise TT pre, 99 is like 50/50, 88 usually not. like i raise 88 if im co/button without limpers, otherwise flat.
