    Default 77 on the bubble, is this FPS ($16)

    Opp is pretty LAggy, 36/21 overall. Had made a few c-bets after raising preflop. Stack sizes are kind of awkward to make a c-bet on the flop, is this C-R FPS? Am I better off just shoving preflop?

    Poker Stars No Limit Holdem Tournament
    Blinds: t100/t200 (Ante: t25)
    4 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: t2270
    Button: t5215
    Hero: t2600
    BB: t3415

    Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is SB with 7 7
    2 folds, Hero raises to t600, BB calls t400.

    Flop: 8 9 Q (t1300, 2 players)
    Hero checks, BB bets t400, Hero raises all-in t1975

    Shove preflop. I think I shove ~80% here.

    As played, c/f flop. It's generally bad to bluff c/r. Checkraises get called way too much, so do it with made hands.

    Checkraising into 3 overs? It's ballsy. I think i'd be prone to call FPS, yeah. I like pushing preflop.

    i push pf, if i had JJ+ i may raise and play a flop since they can play on a flop as oppossed to TT down.

    was your plan to c/r or did it annoy you that he bet, flop is quite dangerous to and it could look like your draw to a str8 by pushing so he may call with less optimal hands thinking he's ahead.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    Im pushing preflop here. Your stack is over 10BB, but with antes, and for practical purposes not enough of a chip stack where I'd want to see a flop with 7s.

    Did you put the villan on a draw, thus the c/r all in?

    Let it go after this flop, he bets on a board with 3 overs, wait for a better spot

    Your M, coupled with being oop - I'd push this everytime.

    Having said that, I fold to that flop bet most of the time. Pushing preflop is your leverage. With this flop, you're about a flip against a random hand (according to pokerstove) - Against a real hand (even a solid drawing hand) you're either a 3:2 dog at best or completely dead.

    Occasionally I may make the same move on this flop, depending on reads.

    Ballsy play though, how'd it turn out?

    Actually once he called my preflop raise I realised I should have just pushed preflop, and I realised my remaining stack wasn't quite deep enough to throw out a c-bet of (800 or so), so the plan was to check/fold. His 400 bet into a 1300 pot looked like a puny attempt to steal so I pushed over.

    To my great relief, he folded.
