Default Re: How to reflect on getting knocked out on first hand of a tournamen

Getting all of your money in on the flop with a flush draw is like 32% if you are calling, but if you bet into players with a flush draw you have to consider the fold equity available. Probally close to 1.5:1 if you are making the all in bet but not calling an all in bet.

The problem is that the OP has not supplied the stack sizes. I like pushing with a flush draw on a semibluff in general. However, it may be too much of an overbet the first hand of a tournament.

Plus this is not a very strong draw, so you are only 38% against top pair and worse against a bigger hand.

Starting chips were T1000 with blinds at 25/50, 15 minute levels.

Then there is 500 in the pot aand villain has 800. The push looks fine. He had no way of knowing you had a set.

Villain's preflop limp and call are even more atrocious given shallow money.
