*** TURN *** 6♠
*** RIVER *** 7♠
***SHOW DOWN***
Villian 2: wins 11,225 with Straight Flush, Five high

So I figured with the pot over $2k, it was big enough, and without a club in my hand, I pushed all-in to freeze out the draws, and perhaps even represent that I have the nut draw with my overpair. Of course as the HH shows, even running KK wouldn’t save me, since my opponent flopped a straight flush.

My question is this: Given that it was a bounty tournament, would playing this different save my stack? Should I have check-folded an overpair with that flop this early?

Or, did I play it just right, and should continue to play this the same way and just move on with my life?

Thanks in advance,

For future reference, you don't want to post the results since you will not get an accurate discussion with us knowing what happened. This push is really bad IMO because you are only getting called if you are beat, and you don't have a club to draw to if your opponent calls with a baby flush. I don't mind checking here, but I am probably throwing out a small c-bet of about 1200 and playing with extreme caution.

Thanks for the feedback on the hand, and also how to post them going forward.

As a relative newb here, I can use any friendly advice I get.

Out of curiousity, what do you do if he raises the flop, or floats? If he calls 1200, now the pot is 4500, and I have 3400 left, and am still not convinced that he isn't on a draw. If he raises, I have little read on him, and am faced with the same question.

Thanks again,

In these given the payout just jam it all in pre and pray, you might still get called by a2 soooted, might not. These are ultra donkement in my opinion.
