Villian is quite a good player, so his complete here usually means a strong hand. I've come back from 634 v 7366 so far.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (2 handed) converter

Hero (t1568)
Button (t6432)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Button calls t150, Hero checks.

Flop: (t450) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players) Hero pushes

pre or post? i don't see how you do anything but push once you see a flop.

postflop definitely, preflop maybe.

I often do push preflop here, but villain seemed strong and I don't think he would just complete without wanting to trap. Especially as I had been pushing a LOT up til then to get it back even to this level.

I don't think moving in preflop is a bad play but I think you have a ton more folding equity my moving in post flop on most flops.

This one is definetly one of those you would want to push.

No-brainer postflop push. Open ended plus flush draw? Sure...with your chip stack, I'm actually hoping to have my push called -- very nice chance of doubling up.

He wasn't folding. My luckbox came through though [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Final Pot: t3136

Results in white below: 
Hero has 9s Th (flush, ace high).

It just was a pivotal hand, as after this I went on to win, with another flush draw a few hands later in fact..
