This hand here, i really need to build a stack the blinds are going up, and in these tournies you can get looked up pretty light, or i could have been crushed, if i was beat i didn't mind to be fair, i just wanted to start building a stack.

I should have bet pot on the flop? And shoved any turn, it was always my plan to ship the turn (rightly or wrongly), just wondering if anyone thinks this is bad play? I was happy with a call or a fold.

    1.5k flop, 3k turn, shove river?

    Why the rush to get it in so quickly, board isn't particularly scary?

    Flop size is ok, but I'd go smaller, certainly dnt like potting it!

    Turn is a really nice card to keep getting value, as played bet like 3.2k and shove river.

    Thanks Dohhh, i just felt like there was half the deck i didn't want to see on the river.

    Any Diamond, any 689, or QK or Ace lol

    I suppose we can't be scared of being outdrawn. As well, i prob still need to get beter at playing a 20bb stack (at this stage of a tournie).

    Looks fine to me. 2 villains on a very draw heavy flop, should be betting big to set up a jam on a safe turn card.
