    I would shove preflop, make it look like AK lol.

    Diggerman is an agro button player, he dont have to have 1010 here but hes also not frightened of calling with a wide range, so shove for value preflop!

    Also, as played, I dont like diggermans flat preflop he should either fold or ship imo

    yeah, just shove pre, I doubt anyone ever thinks you are bluffing when you cold 4b small, assumuing this is pretty low stakes . If I was going to 4bet small I prob make it 500-550

    the size of his 4 bet is what he is questioning...

    just seems an odd amount in relation to the stacks and situation so i can see why don posted this, its not a bad beat post.

    I'm calling Diggermans raise pre (why raise 800?) & checking the flop this early in a tourney.  Info on tourney & reads would also help.

    with what you guys have replied with so far is there anyway of playing this hand where you dont get it all in and get sucked out on?

    if you shove pre flop do you want a fold???

    surely this hand has played exactly how you want it to so therefore 4 bet size seems fine to me

    What does it achieve? Theres a better chance of getting a fold with shoving pre than there is with a  4 bet of this size surely?

    agree it makes very little if any difference, personally I prefer a shove I think lots of players perceive it as weaker than a small 4bet.

    Glenelg we dont want folds

    as greg says sizing is something i see as a major weakness in my game. I know this comes across as a Bad beat hense title. Greg and me discussed this hand privateley and had some extremely good points, i shouldnt have kept opponents name in, i dont know him well but others do thats why i did again. Greg was therefore able to give me better feedback.

    Also for GT the stakes was £24 sat for SPT Newcastle, id got in for a fiver so not a major damage to roll.

    Yh I'd probz shove pre, your raise is basically saying I'm never folding so should be easy snap fold for Digger but you want call and he hit 2 outer, ul.
