So I turned the nut flush draw, but find myself with a very awkward stack size. Pot is 1249, I have 2169 left. Jamming is out of the question, I could bet between 1/3 and 1/2 pot, but if villain shoves, I'm not getting the price to call it off, and betting much bigger doesn't leave me with much fold equity should I decide to bluff-jam the river.
I could check behind and hope to hit OTR, but that feels weak.

I could have bet more on the flop, but on a flop that dry, I don't see much reason to bet more with my entire range.

Thoughts?

How likely is it that villain would shove over a turn bet? His range is still pretty wide going to the turn and the QT is decent for your range, so it wouldn't be a great spot to x/r very often. If that's true, then I'd vote for a small bet and river shove. Second choice would be checking behind. Sure it feels weak, but that's not exactly a compelling reason not to do it.

what kind of structure is this tournament?

It's 10 mins. blinds, but I'm not sure structure should really influence our decisions within an individual hand.

ez jam

I just saw the title that says "bigger 109". Given the stack sizes and the size of the blinds I thought that this may be a sng.

i would bet little bigger pre ur still mp 2.25x is little too small for my taste from that pos...but its minor...jam turn gives villain not much options with many hands so most of the time he will fold....u can use equilab and calculate f equity....
