Default 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.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2415)
UTG+1 (t1430)
MP1 (t1045)
MP2 (t1650)
CO (t1960)
Button (t1365)
Hero (t1440)
BB (t2195)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t90</font>, BB calls t60

Flop: (t195) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets t90</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to t300</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t1350 (All-in)</font>

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?

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?
