Stars 11 rebuy 630 entrants downt to 5
I am on button folded to with A-7s
Blinds 25/50K my stack is almost 800K, bb 900K There is 3 of us with near size stacks, and 2 with 300-400K stacks
Payout 5 th 1400$, 1st 6500$
I raise 3xbb ( I played the bb earlier in the tourney and nearly busted him with a slowplayed set HU, but he managed to climb back and he has avoided confrontations since, but I reckoned he now had a hand or made a stand) He calls.
Table is down to 5 and has not been wild with action, mostly steals and folds. A few hands earlier I tangled a short stack where I tried to steal with K-3s, and got raised by AKos, spiked a 3 to win the hand.
Flopp 6,5,3 rainbow, 1 of my suit
BB checks I bet 150K, I knew I should have checked behind or pushed, but felt he would let go of high cards here for a bet, he raises 200K
I thought about pushing, but couldnt bring myself to it( first final table)couldnt bring myself to a fold either, I was unsure if my A was an out, could be, 1,5 outs for runner runner flush and then I had the gutshot. So I did the worst and called. Instantly decided to push any turn card, but he beat me to it and bet 200K when a J, not my suit, fell and I lost heart.Though my gutfeeling was that I still had a live hand?
I suck!
1 mistake-shoulda checked behind, right? Would anyone push here on flopp?
Would this type a hand be better to push pre, just to make som variance or is it better to continue with same sized raises?
When he raises, should one put him to the test with the draw I had?
Feel horrible finally reaching a FT and commiting so many errors in 1 hand
