First time posting but I need to find out how I could have played this hand better.....
The scene: level 9 of a WSOP live ring main event $1675 buy in. I have about 35k and villain has ~28k. Blinds 400/800 with 100 ante
The hand: Folded around to me and I look at Ac10d in the SB. I raise to 2k. Villain in BB calls. Flop comes Kc10c5c. I bet 2k and villain raises to 5k. I thought a minute and re-raised to 13k (in retrospect I think I should have just called). Villain fairly quickly goes all in for his last 21k. I figured at this point my 10 was no good but I was 2:1 against to hit the nut flush getting ~3 to 1 odds for the chips (I needed to call 13k for a pot of ~42k). I called and he turns over Qc7c for a flopped flush and I didn't improve on the turn or river leaving me with ~8k.
Questions:
- Should I just have called his post flop raise?
- Should I have gone all in after his post flop raise? He would have called and the result would be the same but is it the right move?
- Did I make the right call on his all in? Since losing the hand leaves me crippled should I throw that away in a tournament to his all in?
Once he went all in I thought his range included a set, a flopped flush, possibly K Xc, or QcJx or QxJc for straight and flush draws, or small chance of a total bluff. Even if I put him on the flopped flush and I know I'm behind with only 7 outs I think I'm still getting pretty good pot odds to make the call.
Would appreciate any advice!! Thnx
