The player minraising was a rather loose player who was involved at 20-30% of the hands. So I wanted to isolate raise but raise way too less, so that the UTG can also call for superb odds.
I hit my top set and conti bet low to show weakness. The fish calls and I "push" the river.

I have to raise more preflop, I guess.
I also think that my hand is strong enough for a check/raise move? Or should I push directly at the flop?

utg+1 is probably a big fish if he is doing that minraise.

yes raise more, at least 900 , I'm not too comfortable by putting 1/3 of the stack and being called so often I rather push here.

and I don't really like check raise flop, you have like 1psb left so I like splitting it into 2 bets + chances are the fish will call you much more than he will bet if you check (oponent dependent in general but this is a 4.4 sng and people are normally loose passive)


your raise is to small.
you should really raise bigger, and if you do so, you are comitted anyway so i would push all in here.

as played i would still push the flop i guess.
with your small stack he can never ever think you are weak with your bet.
you comitt yourself to the pot and are looking for a call, this is what the bet looks like.
if you push it on the flop you can have alot of hands that just dont want him to call like AK, AQ 99 and so on.
so i would still push it on the flop, it looks far weaker then your pot comitting lure bet.
