Bad moves/plays by me?

(1/2) > >>

LongshanksED:
Chip lead of approx 3.5 in a 5 man SnG - still 4 players left and 100 BB 50 SB and blinds going up next 2or 3 minutes

im on SB with  qd th and BB has 1000 chips left after posting his BB

going by theory books etc should i be shoving here to steal the BB? - it is a bit loose but as CL i think this is a pretty decent move when im chip leader (or if shortstacked against medium stacks) i think its the right play to do as he only has an M of 3 left after this orbit (although i have did this many times and been lost to a better hand) as he can only reallly call with big hands surely

anyway - i shove all in and he insta calls with  :as:   ac

cant remember the cards but they where all raggs but 2 where diamonds - turn and river where diamonds and i flush him out

he starts ranting on the chat box that i was a F*CK*NG TERRIBLE PLAYER and that i deserve to lose - but to me i wasnt at risk and would still have almosta 2/1 chip lead on him


so down to the bubble and a few hands later im dealt  6d 5h on the BB approx 2.5k and same blinds - button has 1000 chips and folds and SB completes with 4.5k in chips

flop is a juicy  5d :2d: :3d: - SB checks and i lead for 200, SB calls
turn is  9h sb checks and i check
river is a  jd

so i"ve hit my flush and SB opens for 800 in an 800 pot - should i call with 2000 chips left?

i folded claiming i had a 6D flush but never found out what the SB had but the short stack was typing that i should have called?

AMRN:
both plays are fine - the QT shove is a good one.... he can only call with a very narrow range of hands, and even if he does and beats you, you are still in good shape.

6 hi flush though? can"t call there for nearly half your stack

Okay, so he has lost half his stack in the last hour, he has recently been caught bluffing so he could well  be tilting. I presume we are in a full ring game, so he has only approx 10 orbits left, so he has to get busy. I reckon he has taken a punt from the big blind with a pretty wide range. The check by both after the flop suggests that neither player has connected with the flop, a little bit weak i feel from the SB. Anyway Gale would have bet the flop if he had connected, so the 8 on the river certainly hasn"t helped his hand, he is merely taking a stab at the pot. IMO the A 10 is still the best hand, but whether the call is made depends entirely on the read. You have only put 5k voluntarily into the pot, so you could get away from the hand fairly cheaply and wait for a better spot. My guess is he made the call and took down the pot ???

Mikeyboy9361, think it through from other angles [johns perspective] and have another go at how the hand turned out.
All i can say is 1st attempt is wrong.

good analysis though
