At the start of the UKOPS 47 £15,000 Bounty Hunter my table consisted of Tedson, Destiny Cod, Tonyp142, BRUTAS and Loololollo, for the first hour ah was getting battered, they are all likely to re - buy, I'm on a freebie and ah won't be re - buying, are they looking at me as a big fish supper ?.

You've got a good kicker!
He just had a better one...unlucky and you still had chips left so...
I think it's also worth saying don't get sucked in by these small c bets by good players on these boards (or in general). Tedson's size is completely standard here (in fact he can probably go smaller) it doesn't represent where he is in his range. He shows up with AcQc this time but he could equally have AA/KK/AK/A3s/QsJs/Qs9s/JsTs... if you saw any of those hands (or the entirety of his range as a whole) how would you respond vs his c bet? Try not to just think about the few combinations of hands you are currently ahead of AND can get 'value/protection' from but think about how both players respond with their entire ranges vs your shove and what your range looks like and the hands you can have as well.
If you just call Tedson, BRUTAS raises/shoves and Tedson calls/raises you have an easy fold and retain your stack for a better spot. Sure if BRUTAS doesn't wake up with KQ (or trips) you run it against Tedson's flush draws sometimes or he might decide he's not bet-folding some combinations of underpairs but I don't feel that's enough to justify shoving this KsJc here.

Thanks for the breakdown.
Ah think a was too hasty going all in but ah felt BRUTAS was playing a lot of hands so ah was trying to get him to fold, the re-buy had finished and thought he would only go all-in with a really good hand.
The time clock between hands disnae give you much time so ah think ah rushed maself into the all-in.
