$11-Impatient at the bubble?

fine.. you shouldnt have been in the hand to begin with. But you got a decent flop and a decent turn, why not call the turn bet and see river. I think check raise was a little too aggressive you didnt have enough information and really you put up too many chips to find out. I think a reraise of the exact amount wouldve served the same purpose. You didnt have enough odds to call for flush but you did pair so that opens up more outs supposing all your outs are live. I wouldve at least called.

You're right, chok, I think it is worth a call on the end if I've already messed things up that bad.

Does everybody agree with this part? I've always avoided minraising like the plague. But at the $11 level, I think some players are scared off by any raise. And in some places a minraise can be even scarier. I'm often in a situation where I'd like to minraise because a real raise comes close to committing me.

I don't think he meant that it was worth it to call the all in on the turn. I believe he meant you should have just called the turn bet instead of checkraising. This gets you a river for 600 instead of your whole stack. You always have to be mindful of the stack sizes of remaining players, don't get involved with the one guy that can send you packing without the goods.
