Hello,

Do you think the hand was played correctly? Not much info on villain other than I havent seen him do something too out of line and he was playing standard. I guess my biggest doubts here are whether it was a good idea to slowplay preflop and whether it was a good idea to raise OTR or just call.

I would most likely 3bet shove pre-flop against the 2nd in chips. You don't want to get in a tricky ICM spot post-flop and villain needs to fold almost any hand.

On the river villain is committed after the bet on the river and with the huge ICM involved I don't think shoving accomplished much. If you lose you are in a really bad shape after a shove. With calling you have still a decent stack left if you lose.

Cheers,

Shove preflop would be standard. As played either x-c or x-r flop. Turn lead is pretty weird play. Just x-c again. As played on river probably smallish bet would make most sense. When x-r we can get some of weaker Ax two pairs to call but villain can also have some sets or some 87 type straight as well.
