    Default Should I have pushed or no?

    I just had this hand in a 5+.5 2 table turbo SNG on Pacific. Just wondering if I should have pushed on the flop? What would you do with this hand? I din't want to slowplay becuase of the two clubs and the flush draw.

    I'd push the turn. Anyone who calls your flop bet isn't going to fold their draw though. Over the long run this guy is a loser making that flop call- too bad you got the wrong end of it.

    i push all in on teh turn
    your stack is about 1200
    the pot is about 1k
    you probably have the best hand, take it down.

    Meh, I really don't think it matters.

    Push the turn. Looking at the results of this hand it may not matter but pushing the turn here is by far the right play. If he misses his flush you don't get the last oh his chips unless you pushed the turn. If he hits the flush then he's getting those chips of yours anyways. And if he folds, fine.

    Push on the turn. There was no value in your re-raise on the river if you thought he was chasing the flush. You could have flat called his obviously weak bet and saved more of your chips. Players who chase these flushes down like this are typically low limit players who get lucky once in a while.

    So pushing the turn seems to be the consenus. After I failed to do that, I probably should have checked behind him on the river?

    The guy had a flush draw with a gut shot. By the pot odds, he was correct to call on the flop, and would have been to correct to call any bet on the turn considering his stack size. You played fine, but he had a great draw and hit it. All-in on the turn is probably the way to go, but wouldn't matter here. The check behind on the river is the only improvement I see as that 50 bet on the turn screams 'I have a draw and hope you won't raise me'. Like Fnord said, it really doesn't matter. Your going to lose all your chips on this one and there really wasn't anything you could do about it.
