    Default For half of my stack

    I'm such a donk for not knowing what to do here/ for getting into this situation.

    what is a better line here?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00+$0.20 Tournament, 20/40 Blinds (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP3 (t4270)

    BB (t3075)
    UTG (t1240)
    UTG+1 (t1820)
    Hero (MP1) (t1980)
    MP2 (t3025)

    Hero's M: 33.00

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K, A
    UTG calls t40, UTG+1 bets t80, Hero raises to t300, 7 folds, UTG+1 calls t220

    Flop: (t700) K, 10, 8 (2 players)
    UTG+1 checks, Hero bets t500, UTG+1 calls t500

    std imo, though i probably make pre less unless he's an idiot and will call with anything - 240

    EDIT: didnt see UTG limp, open size is ok then.

    Why did this hand make you feel like a donk?

    It felt like a pot committed issue. On the river, I'm getting ~2:1. Plus, there goes half of my stack right out of the window.

    You'll still have the M of almost 20, which is quite healthy. So you don't have to feel "pot committed". (It's a rather stupid concept anyway.)
    Pot odds are about 1:2.7. If you think he has that heart at least 73% of the times, it's a good fold.
    (Actually you should be even more tight with calling this, since the chips you can win in a tournament are worth less than the ones you can lose.)
