    I somehow wasn't convinced I had the best hand, especially with the flop minbet. I've noticed a lot of people do it with monsters.
    So how bad did I play it?

    **warning - beginner source for advice

    Tuff hand. His line is basically monster/draw, please don't calll. His range that beats you is down to QQ, KK, QK. I could see vill shoving - AK, AQ, KJ, QJ, KT or underpairs at these stakes. I like the call once you've made you FH. If he flopped a bigger FH then so be it. I think you should have bet stronger on the turn. If you were willing to call the all in you should have been building a bigger pot. We are either playing for stacks here or folding to the shove.

    The lesson which will stay is that which you experience on your own.

    dont really think anybody will have much good to say here since its 1kbb deep and 2nl plays mega mega mega donk. none of us have much experience with either of those.

    how deep it is makes stacking off terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible, but its quite likely that at 2nl Q2 can call a shove. Q2 instacalls if its 250bb deep, but i dunno about 1kbb deep.

    And on the hand, get all the money in somehow.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

    If your beat here, its a major cooler.
    The flop minibet is nothing to worried about.
    3bet that turn...
