Yeah, you could slowplay, but your line is fine.

What's the problem. You were way ahead on the flop.

SB only has a flush draw and is making a pure semibluff, figuring you don't have a king and will fold.

You played it by the book and got all the money in with the best hand.

What's the buyin?

Sort of an unrelated comment.

First, I think your play was reasonable, though I may have tried to be all-in pre-flop. Yours is clearly not fish-like.

My guess is that SB is of the belief that anyone who doesn't have an A should fold whenever he represents one. Hey, all my bluffs should work too.

However, even if you were, it seems to me that calling another player a fish is either (1) trying to play a head game or (2) tapping the tank, which has got to be -ev. I'd much rather commiserate with someone makes bad bets and loses as to how he screwed up.

I placed 8th in the tourney, so I am happy. (My first 2+2 tourney ever!)
