Was this avoidable?

[chrixian]

I'm just curious if there is anything I should learn from this to perhaps play it differently (i.e. better) in the future? I really don't know why I didn't go all-in with my raise after the flop, fear of putting all my chips in I guess-- But I can see it left me with zero leverage on the turn.

Thanks

fold preflop obv

or get the new pattern mapper beta 3.14

its much better then older versions. it has updated back door draw analysis

The other thing I was thinking is maybe I should have checked the turn instead of putting the rest of my chips in before seeing if a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or straight-making-card comes ... I would at least have had the option of laying it down at that point (I wouldn't have, but someday maybe [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ).

i dont want to talk strat here but just shove the flop

[italianstang]

Tournament buy-in was clearly too big of a portion of your bankroll.

Figured as much, thanks.
