Hey guys

I played a tricky hand at a $220 live tournament at the EPT Dublin.

We were about 1h 15min in the tourney and i had about 23k in my stack (Starting Stack: 25k)

Then there was the following hand (8 handed):

UTG (solid, about 27k) opens with blinds 100/200 25 ante to 500, I look down at AJ. I just called the raise.

There were two more callers. A guy in MP (about 42k), who plays creative, but solid and the BB (about 23k).

There was 2.3k in the pot an the flop came: 3 T 4. The preflop raiser checked, as I did, an the guy from MP bet 1.4k

The BB folds, an the UTG opener called, as do I. (I didn’t wanna play big pot that early in the tournament). The turn was the A. The UTG checks, I checked as well, and the MP guy, who bet the flop, bet about 5.1k into the 7.5k pot. UTG folds and I called. 

My AJ could be the best hand and by calling, I keep some bluffs in his range. The river was the 4. A made the flush, checked to my oppenent and he instashoved (I was the eff. stack with about 15k behind -> Pot: 17k). After a minute or so, I called and he showed 34 for the full house. 

What do you guys think about my play? Should I have raised the flop?

In the analyse of the hand, I think I should have folded the river, because I can’t beat any value hands and is he ever shoving there with a flush? Maybe… 

Thanks for your responses 🙂
