Tourney hand - comments appreciated!
oneill1970:
I"m relatively new to tourneys, just playing one a week to dip my toe in he water, so would appreciate any advice as to what I did wrong here, or might have done later. Normally I"m a 6max LHE player.
Online tourney, 16 players left of 66, 10 paid. Blinds are 100/200. I have about 1,800 in chips and am UTG.
I am dealt :as: jh - I come in for 500. (Should I have pushed all-in at this stage? - I wanted to standardise all my raises to disguise my steals.)
Player to my left calls, quite loose, a big pile of chips, blinds fold. 1,300 in the pot, as I recall. I"m planning to go all-in on the flop if I hit it, but balance that against it being quite close to the bubble if I don"t.
Flop comes down: kh qd :3c: - I have overcard and straight draw, and am thinking he may have hit with a king or queen.
I"m first to act - what should I have done?

Thanks - that"s kind of what I expected to hear!
As it turned out, I shoved the flop.
He had :3d: :2d: and backdoored the flush. No Ace or Jack for me.
Hey ho!
UKChamp:
i dont like the shove UTG
whilst stake dictates, i am tempted to rep a bigger hand by limp raising pre or limp pushing (on any flop), in this position u could get small/med pairs to fold when they are in fact ahead.
im also not too against folding. in my opinion AJ is very marginal pushing range in that position, yes the blinds will knock ur stack but ull soon have position and i dont see many smaller aces (or smaller Js) calling here (and that is the main aim), more often than not ur pushing for a coin flip or way behind a bigger ace
