Well played on every street. If you lost, just skip the Jumbo-Size on your next Tasty Value Meal and load up another SNG.

heh, done. I usually play higher, but I'm on a downswing so i'm playing lower stakes while I plug my leaks and fix my game.

I shouldn't have pushed after the flop? Or tried to get his stack in pre flop? I thought it was ok, and just a bad board.

the raise pre at that level was good, the flop bet was good and so was the turn shove. curious if he had a set or he hit his flush on the turn! well played sir

It's enough to price out draws and against some opponents it will induce bad semi-bluffs, though maybe not against most people at this buy-in.

The board is fine. You have the redraw. There's no better way you could have played the hand.
