Default $6 2-table STT - Good spot for a move?

My thought here was that the situation was prefect to scoop up the pot provided the the villain was not holding any A.

12 people remaining with top 4 getting paid.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (6 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

Button (t3170)
SB (t3155)
Hero (t2000)
UTG (t2150)
MP (t1670)
CO (t8040)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t400, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t1200) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero goes all-in [t1600] , UTG calls [t1750] , SB folds.

Turn: (t4400) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t4400) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

what about pocket pair? you had the weakest hand and you pushed, with two dominating cards on board, with no set...? i know i wouldn't, check the flop, if villain bets, fold.

I don't see the villain calling without some kind of a hand, maybe 7 with high kicker, or even maybe pocket pair, since he limped in from UTG...the only hand that you have beaten in this situation is pocket 2 [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] it's unlikely he called your push with them...

I figured I could get him to fold anything that wasn't an A. Hoping he'd be afraid of me having one. I wasn't too concerned with him flopping two pair or a set.

The more I review this hand, the more I think an even stronger play would have been to push pre-flop.

push pf &gt;&gt;&gt; going all in on the flop. I don't know about you, but I see people calling with junk here all the time. Plus, limping from UTG probably means a small pp, suited A-rag. If you're lucky it's like KJo or something. I don't know, I'm c/f that flop. Like you said, the time to make your move was pf, not once the flop came out.

I don't like this play because a lot of players will limp/complete with ace-rag hands and go all the way with them if they pair their ace. If you decide to play this hand you should definitely shove preflop or hope to flop 2 pair+.

As played, I like a check-fold.
