  1. This hand happened with 12 left in the Stars 3 rebuy just wanted to see if my line is alright or if anyone is ever just flatting the river.

  2. Yeah its a fine play. The only thing I would of done differently is raise to 2.5xbb instead of 2x pre flop.
  3. "It's pot control lines that win tournaments."

    No need to go all in on river when only one card in your hand is making the str8. You can't have the nutz. Caution Luke.
  4. Seems standard, you lose to like 1 hand and will probably get paid off by any 2 pair, sets, top pairs, w/e
     
  5. Raise a little more pre, people call bare minraises more often.

    Raise more on the flop, doesn't have to be much more but I epxect the same 2bb bet isn't going to get much credit, checking turn is fine and flat river

    What are you jamming for, value? what worse hands are calling on that board?
