Hi Guys,
Was playing in the weekly $175 Freezeout in crown Melbourne 2nyt.
3rd hand in. I lost 500 in first hand, Not relevant.
Blinds 25-50. 10k starting stack 25 min levels.
UTG makes it 225 every folds to sb who flats. I call in bb with A7d
Flop 2d 3d 5h
sb checks I check UTG bets 525. sb folds I raise to 1500 and UTG makes it 3500 total. Pot
I think for about 30 secs and shove. I put him on 10-KK an think I might get a fold and if not I'm about 53% against an overpair.
Thoughts on a different line?
Soft tournament and I have an edge so not sure if I should of played it so aggressively?

Just call the initial flop bet, as played get it in now, you have lots of equity and the pot is already big.

Thanks. I think a flop flat and maybe a check raise on some turn cards might of been better and made my range looks more like a set or two pair + and still have 33% equity if called and probably more fold equity...

I would also tend to flat the flop bet, but I don't see anything wrong with how you played it. Obviously early days to be going all in on a draw, but you're basically playing a turbo, with the 25 minute levels and all, and there's nothing wrong with just getting on with it. With the nut flush draw and gutshot plus possibly the ace as an out, you have to have a lot of the best of it.

I'm usually down to x/r a couple of the worst nut flush draws I can have in a spot. Slight issue is you open yourself up to get bet/3bet on the flop out of position. After that, I think you probably should jam with hands like A6dd/A7dd and sets/A4. If villain calls, you're still going to have a bunch of strong hands which he loses to.

I like a good size 3B pf....with no info on UTG raiser other then soft table and the complete from the sb with you still left to act this should show profit. You block AA AK and UTG if decent player will be opening more then Top of his range...get the dead money uncontested or get called and reevaluate the flop. flop check raise is a little risky...you have overs and a draw to the nuts and yes its not profitable to just glat given your pot odds but I think a chk/call looks stronger and enables you to outplay your villain as long as your comfortable with playing most rivers.
