you probably want to post this in the multitable tournament forum. also, youll want to use the bisonbunson hand converetr. i dont have the link handy at the moment however

[Joe Rees]

Thanks for the reply, I'll post it there. I would have tried the converter, but I wasn't sure if it would work with Poker School Online logs so I didn't bother.

You shouldn't post this hand. Period. Nobody cares about your bad beat.

Well, thanks so much for your kind reply. I wanted to get comments about how I PLAYED THE HAND!

If you don't have anything constructive to say, take your negativity somewhere else.

[Roman]

he is right, there is absolutely nothing interesting or challenging about this hand.

[Joe Rees]

Sorry to have bothered you all then. Just wanted to see if you thought my bets were correct given the circumstances. Proper amount pre-flop, proper amount on flop, etc.

I'm not a regular NL player anymore and trying to brush up on those skills.

hi Joe,

the problem is.....things that are of interest in a hand - to the people in this forum - are lacking in the hand you posted.....the things in your hand that are pertinent to discussion (blind size to stack ratio, tournament info/level, pre-flop raise amount, etc.) will much better garner interest in the Multi-table Tournament forum....good luck....

[tewall]

Your raise pre-flop was fine. Another way to play it would be to go all-in. I like your way better, but if you knew the opponent, it might be better to go all-in.

On the flop, you are pot committed, so all your money's going in no matter what happens. So the question is how to get your opponent's money in in a way that's most advantageous to you. Depending on the opponent, it might be better to let him take the lead. Given this guy called your bet with the hand he actually had, it's difficult to see how your line of play could be improved. Maybe it could go check/check and you could put him all-in with only one card to hit his outs.
