But A4? How much do you need to raise to get the sb to lay down A rag? Maybe I should have re-raised on the flop but I'm thinking if I'm gonna win I need to turn good spots like this into chips and you don't get many better spots without flopping the nuts! If I re-raise on the flop, and he hasnt got an A he is folding and if he has an A he's gonna call whatever. Should I have folded after his bet on the turn? But if I fold spots like this then I may as well give up? Is the re-raise all in a terrible play?

Maybe its just me running cold at the moment. Oh and of course he won the tourney! lol

I would make it less preflop, 250 is my preferred raise but 300 is fine. It gives us more room postflop especially with this type of hand. Instead of looking at it as "how do i get rid of these a rag idiots", see it as you giving yourself an advantage postflop as stacks are deeper and better players generally have an advantage the deeper you are.

Postflop is fine imo and how i would have played it. Calling opens you oppos range and allows you to stack alot of weaker hands.

seriously? call the turn and then fold the river? Put almost 50% of chips (2800) in and then fold the river (and be left with 3200)? Ok, I would not be out and there are hands i could be losing to on the flop but there are a lot more hands he's losing to until he got lucky on the turn? I can't see many people laying down here. But then again maybe there are?

fold at any point then turn ur computer off & never switch it on again is what flushy means imo
