Good or bad play?

[oinkment]

Ok this is the situation - I would really like to know if I made the right play here or if I should of waited for a better chance.

Cyrpto online tourney 43 players left (paying out to 60 so I was in the money anyway)
My stack is 10.5 K the average stack is around the 20-25K mark and the chip leader has about 35K.

The Blinds at 600/1200 (ante of 150) and i pick up  in the BB

UTG go's all in for 2.5K and its folded to the small blind who calls - so i think a little and I also call as I felt the pot odds were good.

Flop is  As - and the SB makes a bet of 1200 - the pots at 7.5K and I had 7.8K left. I had a think and put the SB on a pair of aces too but was worried he might have a stronger kicker than 9. I figured I had any diamond  for the nut flush or a 9 for a nasty two pair as my outs. my oponent had 20K left in chips and I decided that it was a good hand to all in on as I was unlikley to get a better chance with only 7X the BB left if i folded.

Well he did have  and the next two cards were  so I lost the hand and went out of the game. admitidly it was a gamble but was it the right gamble??

right move, just missed.
you are probably favourite here as it happens, for me a no brainer

Yeah i think this play is fine. You have a nut draw and top pair the pot is big enough for you to push all in and get the correct odds. You might even get the aj to fold here, i mean what does he have you on to make this play.

[Royal Flush]

I make the same play.

You are shortstacked and this is a great flop for your hand. It's an automatic all in for me. You may well be ahead already, and even if you are behind you have a big draw to hit.

I don't think the SB played this very well, giving you great odds to call pre-flop and I have no idea what his tiny bet on the flop was trying to achieve.

[TightEnd]

nothing much to add, both pre and especially post flop plays itself.

Hit, and you are back in business for a decent payday

Hard luck

I am allin  here every day of the week

almost exactly how I went out of yesterdays Notts game  v  As flop  not sure the diamonds were definitely 7,4) not improvement. you did right to move them in.

[mikkyT]

Same play here, can't fault you.

I probably would have gone all in pre flop. You're short stacked there's lots of money in the pot. UTG could have anything, I try to get SB to fold but if not you ain't got a bad hand with which to see 5 cards. I push and hope to see lots of diamonds.

Thanks - I feel much better now!


Nice comments and advice.

[Bongo]

I think I would have played it exactly the same as you; i certainly would not be passing on that flop.
