    Default Did I play this right?

    The villain seemed to be a decent player so far, but it was still early in this short handed sng so I didnt have any great reads on him.

    I thought my pf and flop play was ok but I was very uncomfortable calling this turn. Thought I had the pot odds to call though. But if missed river Im pretty shortstacked. You think it was worth the risk to call?

    I think you either 3 bet the flop all in or smooth call and fold to turn bet.

    You have 12 outs to the nuts on the turn and as maybe even as many as 15, I play this the same. You could push the turn but I don't think you're getting any fold equity and similarly he'll pay you off when you hit the river. At that early point in the tourney I want to leave myself the option to get out if I need to.

    nice hand.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.
