This was my ME exit last night, and it has been bothering me slightly!
I kinda realised immediately that when I shipped I was mostly only getting called by a flush (he'd even flopped the straight, greedy bugggggger!). I did consider just calling, and thought I'm gonna look silly if he rolls over Ax or a lower set etc. I felt there was value to be had from worse. Then I clicked all in, and before he called I knew I'd made a booboo.
I could've called, lost, and still had 17/18bb stack to splash about with. Instead I had a rush of blood, wanted the lot and left with egg on my face.
Now if this were cash, no bother. Load up another buy in and off we roll. But this was for my tournament life. Is there a strong argument for potentially missing out on a load of value in favour of preserving our tournament? I've had similar hands before (as I'm sure many of you have), like flush over flush when I could've called but went all in for max value, was beaten and out the MTT door. The one above is a bit more cut and dry (a mistake from me), but interested in other people's thoughts on the topic.
Don't be shy

this kinda sums it up for me pal, im just flatting the river, dont think he can have any sets or AX when he checks flop and turn. think im probably c betting flop smallish 2.
Ps, thanks for HH comments thus far
OP, we don't have to win the absolute maximum in every pot and sometimes a small ball approach is best and of course we can sacrifice some potential value in pots where if we are wrong its gg.
But the lack of action on the flop and turn from both of you gave you no information and lots at the same time.
Would he be checking Ace x? Is he checking to look for the flush?
By the lack of C bet, we have no clue where we are in the hand.
I have a question for you though. If the 10 of Clubs comes out on the river, not completing a flush. Do you still tank off shove or just raise!?
I do appreciate the comments guys, but I posted this regarding the concept of missed value vs MTT life (probs should have made that clearer in opening post). I used that hand as a poor example, as it was an acknowledged mistake on my part. I appreciate the advice but unfortunately I'm all too aware of what went wrong with the hand!
Think Watto asks a good question, which in turn would be a better example.... do we go broke on an offsuit 10?
