Really would like some opinions on this hand if I just played it terrible or if its fairly standard. Only notes to really add is that starbucks is super aggressive and I thought he played very well and as much as I hate to say it he probably deserved the win, congrats to him. If you need more info ask and I can probably add more.

Also if theres an easier way to post hands on here I would appreciate it. -
pretty standard if u check the turn there u give yourself to maybe fold on the river with one card to a stright out there
-
cool thanks, where's all the p5'ers at!
-
once u decide to lead the turn you are committed. On the turn, I would much rather check / call with awesome odds to any river. + maybe encourage him to bluff one street which i think he gives up on river.
Besides that once the turn lead is in the pot you are commited with your hand imo. standard. You could have decided not to 3 bet pre but yea ....hu u gotta 3bet 79 once in a while in bb or an aggressive solid opponent will run all over you. -
3b smaller pre, lead flop, check jam turn.
-
yeah seems like I played the hand a bit too agressive
-
You say he is very aggressive, then I can't see the need to 3b light oop against him. I would only be 3betting pre for value(22+, Ax, K8+, QT+,TJs) and try to play most pots on the button where you can pot control.

Nice score though, congrats!!!
Reason: maybe add some SCs in there as well -
thanks guys, pretty clear what my mistakes were.
-
wug for starting stacks before the hand or am i just not seeing it?
-
what shorter stacks? you're heads up vs 1 individual who's slightly shorter than you.

Playing OOP isn't ideal, but it isn't terrible either if you know how to play post flop. Think the biggest mistake that was made in the hand was the b/c ott with our hand. -
yeah theres a few different ways to go about it, but it seems the biggest mistake was being so agro on the turn, could of saved alot checking the turn and maybe still had about even stacks by the end of that hand. I'm not really a tourny player and that was my biggest cash by far so I was very inexperienced and wasnt sure on how to play optimal. my experience is mainly 1/2-2/4 cash game.

well, that's why posting is good then, can only help you see things from a variety of perspectives n lets you choose whichever method you are more comfy with. Which can obv never hurt.

wow yeah completely misread the hh hu its fine. lead flop c/j turn sounds right you are correct. although its pretty sound logic to play somewhaat tighter oop h/u and force your oopenent to play oop.
-
How do you go from low stakes with moderate success straight to the big stakes with an instant 5figure score and a 4 figure score on the same day hmm i must be doing it wrong i think??
-
I think its because the tourny structure for that played like a deep game cash game which is what im comfortable in, and the other 2k score I had the same night I just ran well in winning flips and sucking out a few times.
-
fold pre...as played i check jam the flop with TP and a gutter OOP against LAG
