    Default AKs(6.50) How bad is this?

    Meh???
    Bad board to cbet?
    Should i have cbet more? I didn't plan on shoving the turn until the second diamond popped up , but if i had cbet something like 230-240 it would of set of the turn shove better.
    Tilt induced turn shove awful?
    If he had something like 55-88 he SHOULD fold (i hope) , if he has a 10 than 3 of my outs may be no good (K-10 , A-10) , and if he just floated me on the flop he should fold , and if he floated me on the flop and i check to him chances are i'll be facing a bet i can't call and wont have any fold equity if i c/rai AI , but than again i guess i gain more by c/rai since he might bet worse hands that he will fold to the shove. but on the other hand if he checks behind and i brick river he might bluff if he was indeed floating my flop bet and im definitly not making a hero call with ace high on the river.

    Seems OK to me. Any bet will commit you and you have up to 15 outs plus good FE. I don't think he ever folds Tx or better here but as you say there are a bunch of other hands that should fold to your shove, and against which you have outs in case he doesn't.

    I check the turn and look for a free card or cheap pot odds for drawing to your flush or A/K river.

    A theme is coming up recently in sng forums that you push with what very well could be the best hand, get opponent to fold a worse hand, and think it was fold equity that reaped the fruits of your aggression. An over pot bet is only getting called by hands that have him beat handily. Blinds are at 30, your stack is still in good shape if you have to cut loose on the river. Check the turn and see how cheaply you can see the river. After the flop call and out of position I'm playing for a flush or to hit my over.
