    Easy all in for me here since there are plenty of hands that would call the turn bet that you're ahead of (Kx, flush draws), but I've been proved wrong at the other place on a couple of similar hands posted by mattiesmat, so others please tell me if I'm wrong here too.

    In my opinion you should only go all-in to a) scare someone away, which doesn't apply here since you don't seem to be in any immediate danger (or am I wrong here? Only thing I could think of is another 10 with higher kicker) or b) if you know someone will call you, which of course depends on your impression of the players on the table over the course of the tournament. If you don't think someone will call you all-in is a "waste of a good situation" to me. You want to make some chips here, so why not give them some incentive to give you some?

    On the other hand, I just realized that you only had 805$ on your stack after the two bets ... so all-in ... yeah. Sorry bout the long winded argument. If you were to loose, you would be crippled, so you might as well go all-in

    How did it turn out btw?

    With a pot of 1800 and 800 behind I am not going anywhere, the turn board had 2 flush draws and str8 draw, so you probably have the best hand, if someone slowplayed a boat I am going broke.
    The only question is how to get the max amount of money in the pot, since they both played very passively I think betting is better then checking and hoping someone else will bet

    Bet pot on turn, shove river.
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    Are you worried someone is folding a K getting 3/1? Or suggesting you should c/f? Both seem equally crazy to me.
