PS deep line check

[greenstack]

$2.20@PS, 100 left of 1400. My stack is avg, no specific reads on villain, I haven't seen him do anything out of the line, seem he's playing solid poker. The table has been relatively tight and conservative.

I usually get busto a few levels after ITM with a short stack, so now I'm loosening my game and taking more chances, it seems to work, I had more deep finishes but I still have to improve.

How was my play here ?

Thank you.

check flop, if not check turn

Why would you bet into a dry side pot this late in the tourney? That aside whats up with the smaller bet on the turn than the flop? I would c/c,c/f on the flop as most would not bet into a dry side pot without a very strong hand.

I agree... you can't bet into the dry side pot with 2nd pair can you? And especially can't bet on the turn after getting called... and please... please fold to the all in on the turn... its so obv that you're beat. not quite understanding any of your play here...
