Sat tourny 1 seat available, flop is not to friendly but i need a big stack to win the seat. Is the shove justifiable in that i may fold out some small aces if i get called i'm thinking i have 11 clean outs.

    Hi Jam

    I fel that this is a good spot to all-in personally especially with that one spot needed and nut flush possible. If it was not a Ks then i wouldn't but the nuts do it for me.
    Would ou like me to guess your hand after my 'guess the hand' post error?

    firing 3x pot into two oppos here makes no sense to me at all.

    11 clean outs?  Not on your nelly

    You're probably better putting in a decent bet then calling off a shove if you wanna go with the hand.

    If we are willing to call a shove why not shove ourselves and hope to take the pot down here on such a wet board?

    i was looked up by a qs6s in the end haha

    Because we likely lose all the value of our hand, forcig out all the hands we want to be involved
    with, while only really getting called beat and needing to improve. 

    I know what you were thinking it being a sat, but apply the above logic and its just very counter intuitive.  And again we do not have 11 clean outs.

    11 outs against a pair or 2 pair hand i was thinking so presuming nobody flopped a flush
