Pokers $30 + $3 NL Hold'Em, 2 table tournament
Down to 7 players
Blinds are 50/100
BB has 1,000 chips (900 after posting the BB). I have 1,200 chips. We are the two smallest stacks.
I have AJo.
UTG and UTG + 1 fold to me. I raise to 300 (i.e. 200 to play) leaving me with 900 chips. Folded to BB, who calls (leaving him with 700 chips).
Flop is 6 7 2 (two of a suit). My Jack matches the suit on the board giving me a backdoor flush possibility.
BB checks.
I fear some kind of pocket pair pre-flop and check along.
Turn is a 9 (3 of a suit now on the board).
BB bets 400.
I muck.
Should I have fired on the flop? Did he bluff me out of that pot? How likely is it that he had a pocket pair and called with it?
If I do fire on the flop, how much? It seems that the pot was so big that I had to move in if I was going to bet.
