I have been playing pretty solid, and seemed to have got a fair bit of table respect.
We are down to 10 players from field of 109 bounty hunter, and just doubled up to 21k, (blinds 600/1200), and get 6c6d on the button.
I have been 2.2x approx raising from position quite alot and were taking a few pots uncontested.
Normally when down to approx 18bb I would just shove this hand, especially as BB has 52k chip stack,and has taken a few bounties!But I did feel I had been playing well, and had a table edge.
So, rightly or wrongly I decided to just 3x this hand and got a call from the BB, who had been a little quiet of late, but had taken a fair number of bounties. I really did not have much of a read on this guy as I think he was not been long on the table.
I figured his hand was at least high cards, maybe suited and worth defending, but felt sure not that strong, otherwise would have expexted 3 bet.
Flop comes down 4s7d9d.
He checks, and I figure even with 2 overs on board that 66 is good. I bet 5850 into pot of 7800 expecting the usual fold and lets move on to the next hand.
He bombs me all in. I literally have just 11k back (nearly 10bb) but I have just put 50% of my stack into this hand!
I must 've been tired, lost concentration, and was so  shocked at the QUICK check raise I felt as though I insta folded! Why did I not use the time to at least draw breath and think?
As soon as I did I thought OMG what have I done. Massive Mistake no2 I think!
How could I fold now. Especially that board and 2 diamonds and 9 high.
He must have shoved on me for the draw, and even if I am behind, I may still have slim outs.
I just feel I played 2 massive blunders , and folding was def not an option after the flop.
Please can I have your expert comment Sky Poker Clinic?

    I cant really see many mistakes here IMO. The only 2 i can spot are

    1. Raise slightly less pre.

    2. c-bet for less than that much of your stack.

    Even then wouldnt call them major mistakes. However with 2 because of your cbet you almost getting forced to stack.

    Make it 2500 preflop or maybe just shove as raise/folding with that stack isn't great.

    At this stage a half-pot bet is usually enough to get the job done, you certainly can not bet/fold a 3rd of your stack so probably just check behind on flop.
