2-7 TD, LL SNG: Bad play or simply standard?

[tx4allthefish]

I got berated for sucking out here and ko'ing the opp
but I didnt really think it was that bad. Opp seems a
reasonable/good player.

Also some general comments on the hand would be great.

Thanks.

I could raise here I guess ?

SB takes 3. Hero discards Qc Qh. UTG takes 2.

SB takes 2. Hero discards Tc. UTG stands pat.

If there had been a raise or someone had drawn 1 I would have checked
but since I drew a good one I was happy to take the initiative and hopefully
knock out the player after me.

UTG is pat, I chase with a good draw to a smooth 8. Opp
didnt like this.

I catch good [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] and since I have lots of chips and can take him out
here I'm happy to invest the extra bet.

Total pot: (11.65 BB - $2330)

It depends a lot on what he will pat against me on the 2nd draw.
I would pat a 9 at this point against 1 player. If he is the same,
and he seems a sensible player, I think I have to draw. If he was
tighter and would only pat 8s I guess I am a dog.

rd 1: I like the check in a tournament. In a cash game I might raise, but it would depend on UTG's limping standards.

2: Seems normal - check/call is also possible as you're OOP but knocking out SB is good, and making him call 2 bets is probably still good for you even if you're behind.

3: I assume SB went check/fold here? standard.

4: standard.

Your opponent may pat a 9 (esp 95/96), but he'll definitely pat 876s, so you have odds (even assuming you check/call river with an 8 when you're behind/drawing dead).

Does your opponent just expect you to fold the second he goes pat? Clearly he doesnt understand the game. You shoulda raised predraw, everything else standard.
