    Your play is nice and assertive, he nicely faked a blind protection preflop to boost the pot.

    You could debate your push on the turn but with his chips it was either that or check and checking was never the right move.

    His call on the flop can't really indicate a draw and is a bit suspect, but hard to put him on an overpair.

    He played the hand nicely... and you got caught... what else we can say.

    I think you made no major mistakes at this stage of the STT, even if the turn push was a bit wreckless...

    100% i do the same..... aside from possible history on the guy, I may fold PF, but the average unknown player I call that.....

    What do you mean fold preflop marm? You mean not even complete the SB or folding to the min raise? neither move seems right.

    Ahh hell I misread that.... I thought he was the BB.

    But as I said... if he's got some History on the guy that's appiclable, that really affects your decision, but If I don't know naything about this guy, yeah I play the same.

    Except I raise here PF, and then I can get away from this PF when he (hopefully) re-raises.
