My BigBuck's last hand

[Gabriel_76]

Hello everybody, before posting this hand, i want to thank you for this beautiful site

So, the action was yesterday on Paradise. BigBuck tourney,
1 $ of entry fee. It was my first tourney and the first time that i played NL. I play LIM 0,02 - 0,04 on Paradise and It seems that at that stake I'm a good player. But I'm very fashinated by these big multi tables tourneys and i want to learn how to play. I need your help of course

let's focus on this hand. Hand number 18


Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t25 (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Final Pot: t9400

*** SUMMARY ***
Pot: 4,165 | Side pot 1: 3,180 | Board: [ 2c Ks Kc 6c Ad ]

Mp2 lost 2,945 (showed hand) [ 4c Qc ] (a flush, king high)
Hero lost 1,355 (showed hand) [ 8c Ac ] (a flush, ace high)
SB bet 5,000, collected 9,400, net +4,400 (showed hand) [ 2h 2s ] (a full house, twos full of kings)


My thoughts - Why i went all in? basically because i perfectly understood that Mp2 had a flush, but i had the A, so it was an easy win against him.
I went all in cause, thinking about the SB, i didn't want him to watch the last card. I figured he could have two pairs or a three of a kind of kings, so to avoid his full on the river i went all in. I didn't imagine he had the two pocket twos

How did i play this hand in your opinion? i'm curious to know


P.S. Please write me how to convert well the hands. The hand converter don't convert the summary of the game.

My quesion is : in a tourney like this, was i right to play the all in to gain many chips or was better to only bet strong to save some chips in case of a beat like that i had?

fold pre flop. You don't have enough chips to speculate here.

once you are there, this is a tough spot. Generally the rule is not to draw to a flush with a pair on board (you found out why) but it's soo cheap on the flop you just have to call. After you hit with your stack you just can't fold here, could be trip Ks, could be worse flush.
