AQ hearts lost because..

Hello everyone.

I am always told, never chase a flush. 9 and a half times out of 10 I won't.

I have just gone from 10c tables to the 25c tables. This was my second hand on a 25c. The mindset between 10c and 25c stakes, I see hands are tighter, and it much more the feel of a competition the field 45 players not 360.
My question is ------

Was it wrong to play it ? and or should I have folded at the flop?

Tuff spot to play for your whole tourney. While you haven't invested that much in the pot. I don't think I could ever fold a royal flush draw :f_biggrin:

Dunno whats the right play here to be honest.

Well played - you have two overs gutshot and a flush draw - in other words huge equity, you hand should be played like the nuts. You are a favourite against all one pair hands, worse draws etc. You have a decent equity even if He turns out to have a set, which will not happen very often, with the line of directly shoving.

Make it 80-100 preflop instead of this size please.

Otherwise, Gavron23's got it
