Is this really a shove on the flop? I'd like chips in a tourney, and I'm not sure at which point I should have shoved. I know this is just 'ul' but is it better to shove this, or to drag the guy in? I serious wanted calls on all 3 streets.

I don't think its a shove on the flop - i like your raise, amount seems pretty good too.

His turn bet is a bit odd - could be a defensive bet, or a real weak probe bet, even a made flush making a tiny value bet hoping for a raise from you.

Without a read it's a bit hard to tell.

As played - i shove the turn, he still calls but whatev.

definitely shove the turn

Yeah, I was tired and didn't feel like playing from behind (that and I 'could' have still had the best hand, but knew I didn't) :P

TY again, all.
