    Default Any other way I could have played this??

    Another $20/180 MTT Being doing really well in these, against some very, very good players.. I had been card dead for about an hour against a very aggressive field, I was T1900 and 30/30 just before this then doubled up twice and was 18/27 with a slightly below average stack..

    Villian was CL and I didn't feel pushing PF was an option, and after the flop I didn't think I had too many options either, I just think it's one of those hands your going broke on... Had I held on I would have been 5/23 and at least a cash.. Any other thoughts??? (besides fold PF )

    I would have pushed or check-raised all in on the flop probably.

    That 6 really sucks.

    Not much else you could of done in my opinion - except what Beavis has already said.

    I wouldn't check-raise because this is a good flop to take the pot as a slight favorite, but unmade hand. I think you played it fine. Raise to at least t1000 PF. Just because the minimum raise look slike it's working for other people. It doesn't work over the span of time you'll be playing. If you're not gonna put in a better raise, fold. I think you have to open-raise this.

    Good hand, though. He put you on a flush draw and no pair, found out he was wrong, and got lucky.

    Doesn't look like anything was going to get the Button to fold if the all-in on the turn didn't do it! Man TP with a flush draw and the donk calls to an inside str8 draw!! That's a bad beat for sure! How did he get to be CL playing like that!

    I'm guessing you were targeted from the get-go (pf) since your stack was less than 20% of the donks and only a better hand was going to keep you in the game. I'm pretty sure he was prepared to double you up for the chance of busting you out! Tuf break!

    Yeah, that 6 sucked.. But, afterwards he got slammed for 3/4 minutes about his play by other players and he said he had me on AK, so I think had pushed the flop he was calling regardless..


    It's amazing what people will say when they think you have left the table, but I got a few compliments about my play saying they actually feared me because even though I was a shorty I had played very solid and that's why they were going after the guy..
