BU is 24/24 - 54 hands

I hate these kind of positions, at the moment I have a decent stack but if I raise & cbet & get called & have to give up the turn thats about 1/4 of my stack gone.
What coudl I do better in these spots?
Just 2X PF?
It seems a good board to cbet, but after his call should I barrel again?

This is a situation I run into very frequently. Correct or not, I play the hand exactly how you did here. Depending on flop texture I will not always cbet but on this flop I would. We can fold out some small to medium pocket pairs that missed, broadways, even AJ. I think this play is profitable in the long run and unfortunately this time Villain just happened to connect with the flop.

Note: You should also include Villain's 3bet % because this could help determine what his range is and its equity with this type of flop.

I would be really interested to hear an expert review of this hand because it comes up so often in the early and mid stages of SnGs. Thanks for posting this one.
