Risky shove on that board for sure

yes, got extremely lucky. which is why i am wondering if i should have 3bet pre and take down the pot preflop... also i feel that people are taking advantage of how tight i am playing. i am also in the chip lead with around 90BB deep

bad flat call with your size stack, preflop just shove it .

yes that would have been the right play there.

by the way finished 1st place in this tourney

Shove no u have 42 bb. Just 3 bet pre flop and dont shove flop with this connect board but glgl

Flat calling or 3 betting pre are both good options. Folding is obviously out of the question. I'd vary my play a bit between the two depending on my opponents and my intention. The flop shove tho is a bad bet imo tho. With 66k in the middle you shove with an spr of 4. This is very large sizing. What is your target with this bet? It feels like you're thinking I don't want flushes or straights getting there so I'm gonna bomb it to make the price to high. But any hand beating you is most likely never folding. Sets, straights def not. Depending on the player combo draws may come along and with the bb in it still his range would probably be best for smacking a board like this very well. You won it what some say is the best way to win tho, lucky for you on the runner runner and Congrats on the WIN!
