There's not much to critique here. Flop cbet kind of commits you, I'd rather just shove since you're not folding ever. wp by villain (he has 50% equity otf)

what is your question?

DK is right. the sizing of your flop bet is ordinary. you have 1 PSB left. shove it in and move on to the next hand...or tournament

also try and not be results oriented. for the best critique in a hand you should
a. give a thread title that doesn't give away the result
b. not post results, even in spoilers
c. not just post a hand because you got unlucky.

hint: is doesn't matter what you do here. Villian is not folding is flushdraw postflop (as evidenced by him shipping the flop after you weak cbet it. He has to know you aren't folding here as you are pot commited....or are you?

shove all in pre. collect the money already in the pot with your ace high, probably 50/50 if you get a call.

The unlucky bit didn't matter.

Guess looking back I should have shoved either pre or post flop. That was my mistake . Post I was never not getting a call anyways but on another day I might take the pot by shoving.

thanks
