Comments please, Did i over commit or how could i have played it better

[Newmanseye]

Ok been playing at the table for about 30 mins, and it has remained 3 handed, I managed to give away half my stack on a daft call about 10 mins earlier to Wgjones, and he has been on a rush, and been bullying quite a bit.  we are all playing a TAG game for a 3 handed table and its fun so have a read at this and comments please.

Ok I am worried here that i am behind, although i dont see me getting away from my hand 3 handed.

[Royal Flush]

I think you should be re-raising more here pre flop, you guarantee yourself 2 callers OOP which is always tricky, instead of raising 40c i would raise 80c.

Once the flop comes down you want to get as much in as possible, its a good flop but there is str8/flush potential. There is $1.50 in the pot and its likely someone has hit part of this flop so i am leading for $1 here, allow them the chance to dig a hole.

Once you bet though and face a raise you have 2 options, slow play or fast play. Slow playing here is too risky and probably not necessary at 5-10, so a raise is order the question is how much, we need to make it too much for draws so something around pot (it also makes playing the turn easy) once you call his min raise there is $4.70 in the pot, i think a $4-$5 raise is good here, leaving you another $5 for the turn. If he has any kind of made hand you are getting him here.

As it happens when he then pushes we know he clearly likes his hand (although he did take 11 seconds) QJ is a very real possibility as is TTT however so are AT AJ AQ KT Qxc Jxc and even KJ/QJ QT/JT if he is liable to be a bit frisky. With you dominating quite a large chunk of his range then i think you have to get this in (if all else fails you can hit a house or a runner flush even a second RF for the day....)

Basically, insta-ship.

Cheers for the indepth reply there mate, its appreciated.

I kept the reraise small to ensure i got action, then again 3 handed i am always gonna get action really.

When the flop comes i dont see a way out of my hand the way we are playing back at each other and in most cases i insta ship, yet these situations lead me to my hiatus in the first place so getting it right is important.

I am really worried he has the QJ, but not worried about a set which i found odd at the time.

When he puts me all in i was trying to get away from the hand, and hence the need for the analysys.

He had TTT?

3 handed i want to see his cards. But re-raise more preflop like flushy said. Position is shite.
