First some hand and tournament info. 4000 player in a 200$freroll and 2000 remain.
We start with 1000$ in poker chips and I had doubled that to about 2000$. Dont remember the blinds, but probably 30/60 or so.
I got pocket 5s and called. Almost everyone called and the flop showed 5(in diamonds) and 6 and 9 of spades.
This is a great flop for me, but also very dangerous, since I migth face a straigth, flush or anyone slowplaying a big pocket pair, hoping to get three of the kind next turn, so I didnt want to check or make just a small bet. I bet 800 with the idea of forcing everyone to fold.
Everyone folded except a mad maniac who instead raised to 1500. I put him on 2 spades,which turned out to be correct. Unfortunately my strategy didnt work out so well when he hit a spade on the river, knocking me out.
Any comments are welcome
