You have a profitable jam preflop.

I do not really like limp call with this stack size. In fact, I do not like it with this hand under any circumstances.

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve with this jam on the flop? Villain is never folding an A with SPR of 1.5. Your flush draw is too weak. You should check all of your hands to the PFR.

You would not play a flush like that. You would have checked-jamed or checked-call, which is the line you should take with your bluffs too if you wanted to semibluff with a strong flush draw. But 5 high is just too weak.

But jam pre and make money. Avoid playing such garbage hands OOP without the initiative with this stack size.

I can see jamming pre been the best option. Limping pre or just raising isn't completely awful but i would never limp call.

Hello, I thought he was just trying to push me off with a wide range and thinking I just had high cards like QJ so i called his pre-flop raise. I had a FD and thought there's a chance he might not have an Ace so I'll jam with my small stack and rep an Ace and if he has an Ace I can still make the flush because the chances are low he also has a FD. But I think
you guys are right, I played it badly and too aggressive on the flop. Thanks

Yeh, open jam is probably best. I like r/f better than limp. Without reads, I would just fold to the 4x after you limped. With this stack size in general, if I limped, I would fold or shove more than call if raised.

I agree with everybody : jam since you have less than 20 BB and villain seems on a spewy side of things even if this too small of a sample. Or you can fold. And wait for the next hand to jam with a better holding. It depends on how deep in the tournament you are mainly and partly on your style of play and BR.

Jam pre. If you don't yet like a pre jam, steal with a sizing of 3500. Even if vill jams, you can fold and have an ample stack left to play with. Or vill flats and you can play post flop with the initiative

Thanks everyone, cheers and gl at the tables.

If you think he's trying to push you around a limp/shove would have been best. Your K block a lot of value hands. Open raising to 2.5 could good, and you could always just fold. Depending on tourney progression it could be a good idea to wait for a better spot, with 20bbs you can afford to wait for a couple more rounds.
