i raise to 60,000 utg with AKo
folded to button who flat calls, blinds fold

flop: Jh, 4h, x

i check
villain bets 60,000

both of us have pretty tight images so i'm thinking he's folding most hands here including an overpair..

..and move all in for 240,000

villain calls and shows AhQh for nut flush draw.. (i'm ahead.. wtf..)

Kh on the river to send me home..

i had complete control over the final table and looking back, it should have been such an easy fold...
i am so sick with how badly i played this..

anyone else play a big hand as badly as this?

ITT-Pat did against about 4 other members of boards. he's 2nd in chips, comfortably with 6 left in a qualifier for the NSPC with top 5 getting a ticket, 2 players have 5 big blinds between them. Villain (me, hehehe) who is 1st in chips has pushed 3 hands in a row, and pushes again from UTG (with AK) , ITT-Pat calls with QQ, K on the flop and 2nd in chips misses a ticket! no need to call pat, just fold!!

in your hand against the other chip leader, if u want to get involved bet the flop, once he bets you can happily fold a missed AK.

You played it fine, always going broke when your AK misses would be a big mistake, but from time to time its ok. your line looks very strong, and for what its worth the villain played it terribly. If he had folded here, of missed his outs I dont think you would think its bad play. THis is an awful way to think about things.

i think a shove pre flop is best with the blinds and stack sizes the way they are

because by raising 60k we only have 240k left behind, if you're planning to make a continuation bet of 80k or so on a flop that we miss and then pass to a re-raise then you've commited nearly half your stack. id rather get the lot in preflop where we are almost never much of a dog than have to worry about being oop for the rest of the hand against the other big stack if he calls. with the stacks so shallow i dont like a standard raise here.

good reasoning, allthough I would think differently. A normal 2bb raise (to 3bb) pot commits the entire table bar the only person that you dont want to stack off against. I doubt he is folding 99+ to a push, and this is a spot where racing is absolutely terrible for our $equity
