+1 on the bet sizing, although mainly to keep your options that little bit wider with a tricky equity hand. Any information on a$$ou's playing style?
As played I think I would fold river - not a lot you are beating, and quite a lot you are losing to...1800 into 3327, i don't think you are going to win enough times at showdown here to make calling profitable.
Check-shipping the turn is a very viable option also with the 2 pair and flush draw holding, and works out well for the bet sizing/pot to stack ratio; the main reason for me though is because of the starting stack size in this specific tournament and effective stack sizes on the table; in these tournaments where we have a 3k starting stack and such a big field, if we do not get going early then it is hard to steadily progress to the later stages of the tournament as our spots become limited by our stack size and there seems be a lot more preflop/showdown action (maybe just me
) where there is less edge. So I don't mind getting in it first (check-shoving turn) and taking the pot there or taking on a big pot with a relatively strong holding/flush draw.
Interesting hand...what is the difference between his check-raising range on the flop, to his check-calling range? (considering he flat preflop from the SB multiway and with the flop texture?)
