I'd like to start out by saying that I am a novice player trying to learn this game and improve... I was playing in our monthly $50 buy in tournament at Daytona FL. I have about a 24k stack, blinds 600, 1200.. roughly 22 BBs. I'm the chip leader at my table and the average stack is 14k. The tournament is winding down and there are about 12 people left out of a field of 30. I'm on the button, raise 2600 with KcQd , get called by the UTG. Flop comes 7,10,J clubs, I am now looking at both straight and flush draws. I bet 3k get reraised 6k. Make the call. Turn is 3h, get raised all in..(14,400) Looking at this situation I have about 17 outs and if I can take down this pot I will have close to 50k in chips and be in a great position for the final table. So I make the call and miss both straight and flush. Lady wins with a K 10o and no clubs. This left me with 100 chips and I went out next hand. Pot odds when she shoved were 2.6-1 (37,800-14'500)
Did I play this wrong ??
I had just moved to this table about 15min prior and had only been in 1 had with the villain... and she folded that hand to my preflop raise. So I didn't really have any info on this person.
I intended to raise 3600 before the flop and did not announce a raise amount and miss counted chips so that's why I only had 2600. I guess maybe I should have jammed on the flop when she reraised me ?? I was afraid that she had flush on the flop but figured with a Kc and straight draw I was in a good situation and my read was that she didn't make the flush. If my math is correct I was a 60% favorite to win.
Help me learn from this. Up until this point I was doing pretty good catching cards and went from 3600 up to about 26000. I was catching AA, JJ, AKo, AKs and winning every time. I had knocked about 4-5 people out.
What was the Game Theory Optimal Play ? I'm trying to learn from mistakes so I appreciate your input.
