Hello,

Do you think the hand was played correctly? Villain was a player who on the 1st hand of the SNG 3bet all-in 75bb with 75o from BU against a 3bb bet from MP1 and call by MP2 so he was pretty loose.

OTF I think he is cbetting with a pretty wide range, so I decided to 3bet and win the pot straight away if he does not have an ace. If he has an ace, I still would have a chance to hit a flush, 2 pair or trips. The reason why I didn't 3bet shove is because I thought 3betting this or similar size looks scarier and less like a semi-bluff.

OTT I dont think there's any other move but to push.

Preflop call is fine though versus 2.5bb open it's bit nasty. Versus 3bb I think fold is best with this shallow stacks.

I doubt it matter really whatever you size it like you did or shove. X-r flop with this type of hit is very standard as you have good equity versus almost anything and you benefit from equity denial versus all sort of overcard hands. If we had like TcJc and flop was AcTh5c I would like to call to keep villain range wider and allow him to bluff.

I would just check/shove the flop with in mind with a normal raise like now you have less than 2k behind.

Cheers,

i think the play is fine since if you check and he shoves you have to call off anyway.

I expect you mean the turn play.
If you shove the flop what I would do there isn't a turn play anymore.
