I think i played this okay. Not great, but not horribly. I was wondering what everyone here though:

MP2 (t3601)
MP3 (t4725)
CO (t1245)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t400</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls t200.

Flop: (t900) A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t900</font>, CO calls t845 (All-In).

I don't like this play as I hate getting it in when I know I'm behind. I understand you are putting max pressure on him by putting him all in, but with this board and his preflop raise, it's a high probability he hit it and isn't folding. I'd like your play a lot more if the board was J-9-2 or such. I would've checked it. If he goes all in, you can still decide to call with your flush draw. He might bet out $300 or so and you could call getting great pot odds. He might get cute and check behind you hoping to trap but giving a free card. I think you are giving up too many chips when you don't hit your flush. Even if you hit your flush it still might not be a winner if he has A-x of spades or if you hit your flush on the turn and he redraws a spade on the river.

I think it's possible to try and hit your hand and get better odds to do it. I think you could even check it with the mind set you were going to call any bet he made regardless with your draw.

A SS min raising 1/3 of his stack sets off alarm bells for me, I fold this pf. Flop is ok I guess, you can push him off mid PPs sometimes, even though he is pretty damn short.

Yeah, I'm hearing bells and whistles with the min raise.

But even if I wasn't, I don't think your chasing him off this flop.
