Venom Boski Special. A tournament with a buy-in of $11.
One of the many hands I've found in history. Is it worth doing something like this or are you just putting all in on the preflop?

he had a lot of confidence that will obtain the flush. He put more than half of his chips on this hope

Seems like it is played right.
If you go all in pre flop, only Aces, KK and maybe QQ will call.
Unless its a freeroll .

When evaluating an action we want to know if it works vs skilled players? We do this by asking ourselves questions.

EP raise what range does BB min click vs that range? Do we ever bluff like this? Have we hidden our hand strength? Are we expecting EP to open fold vs a normal raise size?
If most of our weaker hands are just a call would we not trap by just calling?
What is our goal in this spot? to get a few more chips or to try to get stacks? How does min click get stacks vs a thinking player?

This V shoved with a high equity draw and Ace blocker in this spot is this the bottom of the range that acts on flop even from a weaker player after we check?
Would a thinking player do this or just take the free card?

Bluffs were not demonstrated by me at this table. Only a tight game. The goal on preflop was to make the pot size approximately equal to my stack. Then it will be convenient for me to push KK on one of the streets. The ace was perfectly suited to the opponent's range. If he comes, it will be extremely difficult for me to make a decision for the fold. But I could have continued the game without re-entry. I think a villain with a HUD will put pressure on a tight player if he doesn't hit the flop.

Preflop
With a sub 18 BB stack I would either just call or jam. When you make a small 3-bet out of position with such a short stack, you are basically telling him, you have exactly AA or KK, because no other hands would ever take that line. So you might as well turn your cards face up and say "hey this is what I have, would you like to play perfect?"

Flop
At this point both hands played themselfes. Basically a coinflip, which you were lucky to win.
