sorry for the mess but please read a lil bit, only because the converter is messed up

i muck this hand utg... even playing short handed. (is that too nitty?)

The problem is that your hand is only playing for the high (which i assume you know) and its not the best high-only hand to have. If I'm playing high only hands I nit it up a lot and only play4 paint cards (no 9s, which i think are the worst card in the game) and there needs to be a good pair + a suit or double suited. Your hand is close to being ok, but i think this is a marginal fold pre.

You're probably not getting anyone to fold with a flush draw in the first or second level of a donkament, so there isnt a lot you can do about this.

I probably check the turn and either c/c or c/f the river based on his bet size

i dont see him ever folding because of A. his chip stack and B. the size buy-in of the tourney......i think your only hope was to fold the river which should have been done

You can fold this on any street. Moral of the story: don't raise with junk from early position.

I think it's ok to call pf, but certainly not raise. You are going for a high only, but your hand is semi-coordinated and you may hit the flop. The worst play is calling the river. You must know you're beat.

Only mistake here was calling the river. It is very clear that it was either a low draw or a flush draw the way things were panning out. Otherwise villain would have been pushing on earlier streets.

Everything else was fine.

THE HUN.
