Fun little hand.

    Default Fun little hand.

    Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster. Here was a hand I played in today that I would like some advice on, because i'm not too sure how I could've played it better.

    Early in the Daily Dollar MTT, blinds are still very low. HERO is in CO, and the villain is to the right of me.
    My stack was approx. 3300, and the villain’s approx. 3000. I don't have any data-mining applications, but I had observed him being relatively loose-aggressive.

    I hold QsQh.

    The table folds around to the villain who calls for 30. Hero overbets for around 210. BB calls, as does our villain.

    Flop comes:
    Qc, 7c, 8,c.

    Hero overbets for 240 again, aware that a flush draw is pretty likely. BB folds. Villain pushes all-in.
    Hero?

    Thanks, I did, unfortunately I got busted, but I just wanted to confirm that I played the hand right. I'm more worried about whether over-betting earlier was the more appropriate way to approach the hand.

    Preflop sizing is good. You only bet ~40% pot on the flop, which I think is too small. Bet more like 60-75% pot and definitely call a shove. Most people will not shove the flop with big flushes. Its very often just bare ace/king high flushdraws and Qx. Even vs a flush you have 33%

    Again, thankyou for the informative response. My raises were my main concern in this hand, and I agree in retrospect a bigger raise on the flop would definately have been a good move.
