Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6523509, member: 397965"] Preflop With stacks this shallow a 3BB open size is very large. I assume, this was a "on demand" SnG, and in those I only use 3BB open raises in the first level, where blinds are 20/10 and the average stack 75BB. After than I am already down to 2,5BB. Small detail perhaps, but a pretty easy thing to improve. Flop Checking here as a slowplay is not terrible, because there are few cards, that are really bad for you, when you have the flushdraw covered. But even so I dont think, its the best way to play the hand. BTN is not always going to bet for you, and stacks are not shallow enough to easily get the chips in with only two bets. Also while another spade will improve you to the nut flush, it might also kill your action. So I think, this check-raise is a little bit fancy and unnessesary, and I would just make a normal C-bet basically planning to go bet, bet, shove on most runouts. Or perhaps bet, bet, check-evaluate on bad runouts. Turn As a rule of thumb we should either check or jam the turn, if there is less than a pot sized bet left, and in this case I would clearly jam for value. With your sizing you have put in 75% of your stack already, which mean, you are way past committing yourself to the pot. So even on the worst possible river card you will still get stacked, if he somehow end up with a better hand. He on the other hand can potentially save 862 chips by just calling you now and then not put in the rest on the river with a busted draw. So by using this size you are essentially allowing him to freeroll you with parts of his range. River As played you have to get the rest in now. Results At the end of the day the hand is just a bad beat, and you did not overplay it. But with that being said I do think, it could have been played better on basically all streets other than the river. Which you should not have seen this way. So lots of things to work on, but busting from tournaments due to a bad beat or a cooler is part of the game and cannot be avoided. [/QUOTE]
