16: I hate stacking off at 15/30
 

Was there any reason for me to here?

In an MTT this is a no-brainer/yawn shove, and sometimes I just default into that.

As much as you might hate making this play, I really can't think of a better line. Or any other line for that matter.

Looks fine, I stack off here every time with this quality of a hand. And unless he already has the made NUT flush then you're still in ok shape with plenty of outs. Also, your flop/C-bet that he could be raising any 2 if he feels your bet was weak enough to fold to a raise.

All in all, I would probably have played it exactly the same way.

I don't see any alternative.

Why did you bet so small on the flop?

seems fine.

bet more on flop. looks good

The only reason to bet this flop is with the intention of 3-bet shoving it and that's what I'd do.

If you stop raising KJo in lvl 2 you might not stack off so early.

Shallow stacked STTs - I think chips you gain in these spots are not worth as much as the chips you lose, add in the survival factor and I'd fold PF.

If I knew the sb/bb were nits I could see going for a steal.

As played, I'd probably stack off.

Looks fine except flop bet size. That's not standard for you is it?
