So I was chip leader in a 9person SNG, on bubble. Playing aggressively. This hand was crippling, and i busted out on the bubble on a flip [66 v AT] against other short stack. I guess in retrospect I should have bet out on the turn to keep him from feeling priced in on a c/r, since a flush draw was the most likely holding there.

He had a monster draw (15 outs to straight or flush) and I don't think you were getting him off this hand no matter what you do. Still, you got your money in ahead - play this same hand 100 times and you make $$$

I'd have made it a little less preflop, 400 or so but thats a minor detail. He's not folding here and I like your line, just got unlucky.

I might bet a little less on the flop or attempt to crai if i can. as played, it's totally fine the way you played it. I mean, the turn bet folds out all hands we beat though. So I'm not sure about that. Yet we allow flush draws to get there if we don't raise. I still am ok with your line though. Villian should have just shoved flop (well, and folded pf).

No, it doesn't. He called with a hand we beat.

I'd bet/call turn for sure. We never want to see a check behind here, we need to protect our hand.
As played CRAI is for sure fine, but I'd do it only if I have a ninja read he can barrel this turn
