    Default How god awful of a play is this?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter

    UTG (t1440)
    UTG+1 (t1690)
    MP1 (t2660)
    MP2 (t1385)
    CO (t1720)
    Hero (t1765)
    SB (t1670)
    BB (t1170)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with , .
    2 folds, MP1 calls t30, 1 fold, CO calls t30, Hero raises to t60, 1 fold, BB calls t30, MP1 calls t30, CO calls t30.

    Flop: (t255) , , (4 players)
    BB checks, MP1 checks, CO checks, Hero bets t210, BB folds, MP1 calls t210, CO folds.

    Turn: (t675) (2 players)
    MP1 checks, Hero bets t1495 (All-In), MP1 folds.

    Final Pot: t2170

    I'm putting him on ace high on the flop after he calls me. I've been playing the maniac thorugh the sng, and I guess that's why he calls. He obviously puts me on a king high on the flop. How bad is this play? I don't usually play like I'm autistic, but it worked here. What do you think?

    Judging from the blinds I'm assuming this is early in a tournament why would you risk your entire stack here? Granted it worked but you risked your stack for a few 100 chips. What's more important winning hands or winning big pots?

    Well, I was almost certain I could win the hand here, and I figure the only way I'm getting a fold is an allin. Any less I wreckon he calls. If I can take down a pot, I do so. Granted that may be a retard approach, but then again, I'm probably retarted.

    looks good to me, all about timing.

    my best tournaments I bluff like crazy. I sometimes call the flop just to bet the turn with nothing.

    Although 500 would have PROBABLY picked up the pot for ya still.

    Well as far as the play I fold pre flop my timing on things like that usually suck , I'd be up against someone slow playing AK there.

    I've been playing the suited connectors alot recently, especially from the button in an unraised pot.

    honestly the play looks good... raise the flop to see where you are,
    Bet the turn hard to represent AK or KQ...
    the only problem is the all in bet IMO.

    A pot size or slightly under would have take it down I think

    KJ
