    Default Early hand in 5.50 FO

    Early in a $5.50 FO on PokerStars.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    MP2 (t1540)
    MP3 (t1460)
    CO (t1530)
    Hero (t1470)
    SB (t1800)
    BB (t1220)
    UTG (t1500)
    UTG+1 (t1500)
    MP1 (t1480)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with A, Q.
    2 folds, MP1 raises to t80, MP2 calls t80, 2 folds, Hero calls t80, 2 folds.

    Flop: (t270) 6, 4, 5 (3 players)
    MP1 checks, MP2 checks, Hero checks.

    Turn: (t270) J (3 players)
    MP1 checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets t160, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t160.

    River: (t590) 6 (2 players)
    MP2 bets t100, Hero calls t100.

    Final Pot: t790

    I'm wondering if my attempt to take the pot down on the turn was a mistake. If not, what about the river? I don't really feel I should fold to a 100 chip bet here, but I don't really know why. Should I raise the river and try to push him out?

    turn is fine. River, need to win 1 in 5 or so to show profit, it's close. worst case, you look a little crazy and maybe people pay you off later. I prefer call to raise, mostly because it could be weirdly played straight or trips.

    I have to agree with the good dr. I think that you played it fine. It's ok to take a stab at the turn and check/call the river.
