    Default 99, Push the turn? $22

    Blergh, just had a horrible session, 8 straight losses at my attempt to move to $22... Most frustrating thing is, I just looked through the Wiz and for maybe the first time in my poker history, I can't find a single mistake. Not sure if I played this OK though. Opp is 12/8/0.6 but useless stats as only 12 hands played. I'm essentially readless...

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is $100 (10 handed) by Hand Converter CG

    Hero ($1910)

    SB ($1470)
    BB ($2370)
    UTG ($1860)
    UTG+1 ($3290)
    UTG+2 ($1360)
    MP1 ($2150)
    MP2 ($1250)
    MP3 ($2050)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 9d, 9s.
    UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, Hero raises to $300, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls $200.

    Flop: ($650) 8c, 4c, 2d (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $400, BB calls $400.

    Turn: ($1450) 2c (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero calls $1210 (All-In), BB calls $1210.

    River: ($3870) 6d (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $3870
    Main Pot: $3870 ($3870), between Hero and BB.
    Is this OK? I can think of 1 vaguely plausible hand I beat and loads that have me crushed.

    After looking through it for the fifth time, there really is no getting away from it... I'm sure this is fine, if anyone finds a mistake I'm happy to listen though...

    I play it the same.
    I maybe bet say 450-500 on the flop but you're certainly getting chips in the middle.

    I think this is fine although a shitty spot to be in. Say he already has the flush and he's check raising then you're beat but if you don't bet basically most of your remaining chips then you're giving him odds to hit the flush. I think aggression is the best long term strategy.

    I propably check the turn and hope to see showdown as cheap as possible, preferably for free.
    If he makes a big bet on the end then we've got a tough decision.

    I'm torn between shoving the turn (to deny opp odds to call if he has one club) and checking behind and seeing what happens on the river. I can see the merits of both, but put me on the spot and I think I check behind and check/call any non club river.
