tourney hand

[DLizzle 0]

It's the final three of a live 24 person tourney, I have 15000, guy to my left has 6000 and guy to my right has 14000. I have made a big comeback from being severely short stacked to dominating the final table. I basically showed down a lot of bluffs and bad hands at the beginning then started hitting and got paid off every single time.So I'm sb with blinds at 500/1000, UTG folds, button who is pretty tight, not a great player though he knows whats going on. He raises to 2500, i reraise to 6000 with 66. Could have been more but don't want to risk too much preflop against his stack which could cripple me and also want to see where I am. He calls, I'm 90% sure he has overcards, probably with an ace. Flop is 2s5d10s. I move all in. I don't think this guy will call with just overcards based on his previous play.Well I guessed correctly on the overcards with an ace, unfortunately they were both spades. Since I posted this, I'm sure you can guess what happened. I'm pretty confident I made the write play but what do you think? sorry edited.

He raises to 2500, i reraise to 6000 with 66. sorry edited.

Preflop either fold or move in. he's thinking the same thing about you in that he doesn't wanna play against you cause you can bust him. You got your money in with the best of it though, just bad luck.

I want to know more about the payout structure and how the next level of blinds look and how far away they are from going up. I am also still trying to figure out how utg and the button are not the same person since we are 3 handed. Also you never mention the BB so for my personal review here I have to change the sequencing to the villian being the SB and you the BB, otherwise I am all sorts of confused. I am not a big fan of your reraise here, I dont see him laying it down preflop to that after he raised you. Either go all in preflop or just smooth call. Going back over the top pre-flop all in puts him back to the test, odds are he calls with a suited ace and you are out. And making that move you you are hoping for a race if he calls you.Reraising but not all in kills you because you are stuck with a situation where you have 9000 left. He has moderate pot odds to call your last 9000 into a 12000 pot with overs and a flush draw. By only calling the 2500 you can force him to call 12500 to win 5000 on a ragged flop if you have him on 2 overs. Thats a much better scenario to push him off of a hand, and if the flop comes scary to you and you have to go into check/fold mode you are still sitting with a stack of double the size of 3rd place at the time and you are still very much alive for 1st.

how good are your reading skills?if they arent very good, i'd fold pf. you cant call bc a mid pair is very difficult to play oop against an aggressive player post flop. a raise would commit too many of your chips in a situation where you're at best a coinflipif you're good at reading your opponent, just call the pf bet. lead out on a ragged flop, and see how your opponent responds to your bet

sorry i was sb, he raised, i reraised, bb folded. I do not like the push/fold thinking. That seems like a weak play to me. My reraise was to see what he had, plus I knew he wouldn't call with bare overcards unless he hit. I did give him the odds to call though. I want 1st and only 1st here. Payout is 400 200 100.

But if you reraise to see what he has and he comes over the top of you are you willing to die with your 66? If so push it and make him decide how much he likes his hand. If not then why are you potentially giving up 3500 chips that you cannot win on most flops and still leaving the door open for him to have good odds on any flop to call.Can't be results oriented here, but you put yourself in a spot with a bad hand, 40% of your stack invested, out of position.

I hate the small re-raise. If you want to re-raise, push there.
