1) I like the idea of betting about half the pot as an information probe, but I don't think that would work this early in the tournament... my low-level limit cash game experience is that people will call 2 or 3 raises on a flush draw. Would 1/3 to 1/4 of their stack really be enough to make most of them fold?

2) This was at worst a marginally questionable play, and at best, the right thing to do. Maybe I'm not quite as stupid at this as I think. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks all.

It was a well thought out play. That said, you don't want to make any bet here that won't maximize fold equity. That's why the jam is the best play.
