I didn't play that wrong did I? The way I see it, he played the hand wrong the whole way. From calling the PF blind, to calling the raise, and then going all-in. In a SNG maybe I play this differently, but in a MTT I have to accumulate chips rather quickly. Any comments on my play. I'll explain my flop bet. It was just about the size of the pot, and it left me enough money if a spade fell on the turn. When he went all-in, I was pretty sure I was ahead, so this was a nobrainer call. Right?

Ummm you have to ask?

You played this spot on.... maybe a touch bigger PF raise, just to isolate due to the callyness of players early in a MTT, but thats a moot point.....

Not really. I was wondering if this guy actually had the odds to draw to his hand. If he knew I would call the all-in, then he was risking 2115 for a
3115 pot. Thats almost 1.5-1 odds. If he knows my hand, then he has right in making this play...right? He's 46% to win the hand after the flop.

Edit- If this is true, then there was really no way I could have made this EV- for him.

i didnt added it up but if your 1.5-1 is right it is a somewhat negative play because a flush is 2.1 - 1 i beleive but the only thing i might have done differently is raise it alittle more preflop but other then that you played it great
