On the river he was first to act and bet 8K. I had ~11K. I meant if I was gonna call I might as well push there.

You just want to call. He is still favored in the hand, but the pot is laying you pretty good odds. Save the rest of your chips.

Most rebuy tournaments allow you to rebuy when your chips get low (less than or equal to original buyin) , you don't have to lose them all to rebuy.

[Rduke55]

You can only rebuy up to the original 15K and it still costs the same if you have 0 chips or 14K. If I lost I'd have to rebuy anyway so why not put the last 3K in?
I can't believe he did this with 2 pair though. Although his checkraise maybe said something.

[Rduke55]

I couldn't value bet becaus I was 2nd to act.

[locutus2002]

After its checked to you, you should value bet when you make the str8 because villain may not call a push. I would bet T3000, the same amount villain raised to on the turn. Villan is getting almost 5:1 to call.

[Rduke55]

He checkraised on the turn and then bet the river. I did not get the opportunity to check.

[locutus2002]

Lets say you are 45% in the hand. For every dollar that you put in the pot and villain matches you only get $0.90 out. So you are putting up T3000 chips to have an expected return of T2700, a loss of T300 chips.

The reason you can call villain's bet is that 55% of the time you will lose T8,000, but 45% of the time you will win T26,000. This is a great deal for you overall.

[locutus2002]

IF he were to have checked on the river, then you would value bet it when you make the str8, because you want him to call.
