Royal Knight had been playing fast and loose all the way through the tournament, at one point HM2 had put a big fish picture next to his stats, but by this stage of the tournament it had changed to a picture of a mouse (or a rat?).

Advice please...

sizing pre is horrible and you're never folding after cbetting 30% of your stack.

Yup I'm not folding against Royal in this spot ever TBH, not saying he can't have it, but as stated after putting that much of your stack in+Royal's playing style I can't fold it myself

Thanks guys

What do you think might have been a more appropriate bet size for me to have made pre-flop, please, for future reference?

 

[baudib1]

probably 350, then 800ish on flop

 

[Poker Orifice]

probably 350, then 800ish on flop

'Maybe' 375 pre in this game. ('maybe' 400)

 

[Pascal-lf]

325 pre, 850 flop, call

 

[F4STFORW4RD]

So somewhere between two to three BB pre-flop. Or perhaps I shouldn't be thinking in terms of BB, perhaps I should be thinking in terms of my stack size?

This is how it panned out, anyway:
