[kingstalker]

Paradise 15+0
Blinds 50/100
I have 3000 in chips
I am in LP with /images/graemlins/club.gifJ /images/graemlins/heart.gifJ
Two limpers I make it 400, one caller(4000)
Flop is /images/graemlins/club.gifQ /images/graemlins/club.gif9 /images/graemlins/club.gif2
He checks,I push all in,he folds.
Here I was taking a gamble that maybe my jacks were the best hand and if not *maybe*my flush draw might be good.How should I played this hand if he had made a pot sized bet on the flop?Was my all in correct or could I checked it here? This guy was new to the table so no reads.

Hi Kingstalker,

I think a lot of people will play differently here, but here is my opinion:

You are heads up and last to act. It is checked to you, you have 9 outs ( or an amazing runner-runner full house). You absolutely need to bet this flop. All-in is probably drastic though. Pot is roughly T-1000. I think a bet of T-350 would be better, as it leaves you a decent stack if you get check-raised. I can't see anyone calling that without A /images/graemlins/club.gif or K /images/graemlins/club.gif . I think a made flush will check-raise. Probably could have bought the pot without risking so much, IMHO.
