All through the tourney I had been folding to this guy on all his bets / raises after the flop. Mostly because I hit nothing or my PPs were dominated by good overcards. This position gave me the opportunity to make him think as I didn't fold; so he put me on something. With my chips running out the only option was to push on his 'weak' check on the turn. He thought long and hard before folding.

I ended up ITM.

Gutsy turn push with your size stack, and the amount of money he's already put into the pot. You probably pushed him off a ten.

Continue Bet the flop harder. You looked weak.

Luckily that worked out like you were betting out a weak middle pair and you hit trips on the turn.

nh, but pre flop is awful, whatever your read. Push/fold

[Hop_Gazza]

Do you mean go all in PF? (or don't play this hand at all?)

[gabe]

dont play the hand against a raise.

[drmcboy]

yeah, moving in is OK since he has been aggresive, you may get a fold or a call in a race. Folding is OK too. You're putting so much of your stack in it's hard to fold on the flop when he puts his last 600 in, and clearly he's capable of doing that whether he hits or not.

Preflop your call was very bad - you commited 1/3 of your stack on a very marginal hand - I would fold preflop, I dont think a push would do you much good, as you are probably behind (maybe a coinflip).

On the flop you should either raise much more or get out, you raised 150 to a 900 pot, he should call with pretty much anything.

At the turn you are pot committed, so the push is not bad, I am surprised you did not get a call, since he was pot comitted as well.

BTW I think he had AQ, maybe AJ
