Hi guys,
This is the first hand history Ive posted, basically after the tournament I discussed this hand with my mate, and we had differing views, I'm interested to find out other opinions on it.
Live MTT £50 freezeout, Walsall, 15k starting chips.
History - Villain is very loose aggressive player, has often folded to a 4bet shove after bluff 3 betting the flop. Has shown down rivered gutshots/backdoor flushes so is capable of bluffing and double barrelling with 2 overs, a gutshot or air.
level 3, 13k effective stacks, blinds are 100-200, no ante.
villain limps in MP after an UTG limper
two more limpers join the party before I raise on the button to 1200 with:

SB and BB fold as does the UTG limper, villain calls the 1200 and the other two limpers both fold.
Flop comes:

Villain checks
I bet 1300 into a 3300 pot
Villain re-raises to 3800
I'm pretty much 100% sure I have the best hand and know he interprets my small bet as a weak C-Bet and without even much consideration I ship in my remaining 10.5K
Villain insta-mucks
I win the pot, but couldn't help thinking about other lines I could've taken to make more money.
If I'm sure I have the villain beaten, why am I shipping it in? Hes always folding air/overcards and maybe hands I can extract value from (88, 99, 77, 66) and always calling with AJ, and QQ+ (hands that have me crushed)
Would flatting be a better option? but I just wanna vomit if a Queen King or Ace hit the turn. Flatting would be okay if I'm sure hes gonna stab again on the turn, but if he checks the turn to me; then I gave away a free card away with no gain.
Please give me some ideas to other lines I could've taken to maximise my EV in this hand.
Regards,
Ben.
