    Default Did I play it bad?

    This hand was played in a 55$ buy-in tourny with 890 players, when the hand was played we were down to about 400 players and I was in something like 290th position at that time.

    Thx in advance.

    Preflop - With the two callers there was already $350 in the pot when you raised to $400 giveing people good ods to call. Should have raised to about $600
    Flop - Nice bet, fist pump when he calls.
    Turn - dont stop now. $1300 would have been about right, but he only has $925 so anything that puts him all in is good
    River - Tough choice since a K is very likely. He should have thought the same thing so I'm surprised it didnt go check/check at river. I still think I would have called and then kicked myslef for not betting the turn (which he would have likely called anyway)

    Your right, on the turn I got so scared of a straight and I knew that in his position I would have checked raised me, so I tought he maybe had it and I just wanted to get away from that hand. However when he did that bet I just felt he could be bluffing or something and I couldnt resing to fold . Thanks for the bets suggestions, I'm really not a pro so it's gonna help.

    absolutely have to bet that turn to protect from straight+flush draws. He already called your flop bet, no reason to slow down at all
