What does "likes to get creative on the flop" mean? I always translate this as "He likes to bluff and doesn't mind donking off chips which is why I thought it'd be a good idea to shove into him here but at least I have given myself a reason for donking out of the tourney"

Fold is probably the right choice but meh, only 2 places pay so could well shove here especially as only winning is any good here.

And think about what to do before you lead out on the flop next time.

"Creative on flop" means just what you said Boldie.

I take it you would have ch called the flop?

Appreciate you taking time to reply, thanks.

very much this  ^^^ - speshly if you think he can get cute/tricky post flop you really need to consider how you're going to re-act to a raise before you bet, you really dont want to be bet/folding on flops where you have so much equity as its a very expensive mistake

In this spot persoanlly i'm pretty happy to bet/get it in, described villain can have a lots of 1p/striaght draw type hands and i think your   outs are almost certainly live - I think c/raise might be slightly better as you can defo get your stack in with a bit more fold equity  but bet/going all in seems absolutely fine as well

Need to point out.......the bit thats doing my head in is the grief i got from the other players for my eventual play.

The main reason i led on the flop is i was expecting villain to raise or AT LEAST call (i know this guy quite well) and i must admit i was trying to build the pot at this stage........am i wrong here?

I did shove and he called after a little thought. He showed  .

During the post hand discussions he thought my play was a poor one as "i had no hand"

Again, thanks for your thoughts guys

I am happy to get it in here as his hand looks very much like what it turned out to be....ie. top pair that knows an overcard is coming and won't know what to do when it does.  If you shoved it is a pretty terrible call by him tbh.

Also like bet/jam this deep. As it turns out, he has virtually the perfect hand vs ours, and if he spews alot usually then we have fold equity vs his air balls.

Alot of live players think they're perfect in their lines and hand analysis. Don't listen, you made a good play. Tbf, the guy butchered the hand in the first place by limping the button with 20 BBs. Just need to learn to win flips now (when you do, teach me please :x)

I would def shove over the top here. You have a flush draw, gutshot and possibly a 10 as an out,  so potentially 16 outs in total, no better spot getting your money in, especially with only 2 places paid and the guy having fold equity if he is bluffing.
