wow this one is very hard i think...johnnybax hand from bellagio 15k

I think the initial flop bet is poor. The pot is 3500 and Bax only bets 1500, stacks are deeper here than in regular tournaments so he should look to build the pot quicker and bet 3000. Then he can push the flop after a raise or look to cr the turn all-in.

The way the hand was played I really think he should call the flop raise and look to cr the turn all-in. Based on prior play the villain most likely is not on the nfd so it can be a variety of hands that includes sets, top pair, over pair, and bluffs. The pot would 12.5k on the turn so if opponent bets the turn for around 8-9k bax can then cr the turn all-in.
