    Default One tournament hand. Comments?

    BB is tight and aggressive. My M is ~10. Standard preflop raise has been 2-3x. I was planning on moving in on the flop, but when it came all diamonds with me holding the Ace of diamonds, I went for the check-raise. Stupid move? Should I have moved in Preflop?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    UTG+1 (t2585)
    MP1 (t2305)
    MP2 (t5447)
    MP3 (t1590)
    CO (t6633)
    Button (t1930)
    Hero (t2210)
    BB (t8572)
    UTG (t3860)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, K.
    7 folds, Hero raises to t300, BB calls t150.

    Flop: (t600) 2, 9, T (2 players)
    Hero checks, BB bets t600, Hero raises all-in, BB calls t1310.

    You could have pushed or raised preflop. But you definitely didn't play it horribly.

    i would rather just push the flop than check raise. what if he checks behind and the turn is a little black card? then your in a tough spot. just make it 450 preflop and push the flop.

    I think i'm open pushing that flop more often than check/raising unless you KNOW opp will bet at it with any 2 cards. Given your read that opp is tag i probably push flop. The way you played it if opp has a 9 or 2 or pp then he calls whereas he may fold those to a push.
    The poker gods love me really, they are just testing my faith !

    Default yeah

    yeah i prefer pushing the flop here as well, or making a large bet at it anyway. I know you have a ton of outs, any diamond, 2 overs, running cards for the str8, but youre still drawing. I would prefer to take down smaller pot than have all my chips in on a draw.
