would you prefer to push the turn, or was my play ok?

this is a 6.5$ tourney so most opponents will pay me off with two pair or set so i decided to push and not to ckeck the river

your thoughts?

Re: 6.5$ flop straight push turn?
 

I'd fold preflop. Flop is ok but a small, pot building bet would be ok too. On the turn, your raise is good. Pushing would be overkill. River looks good too. Good value bet on the river.

Re: 6.5$ flop straight push turn?
 

Meh, limping KJ from the button with one limper with that size stack isn't that bad. I like to minbet the flop to build the pot a bit. At that buy-in no body can resist calling a minbet, especially when it looks like a cheap attempt to buy the pot. Plus I hate it when I check through and a jack fall on the turn. I hate splittign pots

Everything else looks okay.

Re: 6.5$ flop straight push turn?
 

I don't like preflop much. Seems very loose to me and KJ can really be trouble. I'd definitely bet the flop, and look to get all in on the turn, but your line is okay.

Re: 6.5$ flop straight push turn?
 

Other than playing the hand pre-flop, I think you played it fine.

Re: 6.5$ flop straight push turn?
 

I limp here a lot, and raise the rest of the time.

Re: 6.5$ flop straight push turn?
 

Raise?? That's far too LAG for me.

It would be rare that I raise. Limping is my default play.

Re: 6.5$ flop straight push turn?
 

wow i cant beelive someof you would fold KJ on the button with no raises done yet.. sure someone could be playing a monster but if thats the case then they messsed up by not betting preflop.... ur play was good imo.. u made him devote the rest of his stack basicaly on the turn..GL well played

Re: 6.5$ flop straight push turn?
 

You don't fold it because someone "could be playing a monster".
