Should I have played it differently?
Other than raise standard 3x pre looks fine at that buy in they could have anything.
i hate the 1500 starting stacks. u raise, then cbet and if u have to double barrel ur nearly committed. all non turbo tourny's should have 3000 starting stacks. but on to the hand. 3x raise is all thats needed pre as jdog mentioned. but on to u post flop play. im with u up to ur cbet. when u make cbet on flop and get 2 callers its time to pump the brakes. ur out of position time to play pot control so if we're beat we're not dead. no need to keep pushing and no one is moving out of ur way. Im likely cbetting flop. with two callers, im checking the turn and check calling river if bet is not to scary. there are str8t drws and set possibilities. at this level sure they could have anything but wt about the next levels. players become more trappy and clevr and u wanna get use to playing a sound game even at these levels.

Players at this level love to chase everything to the river hoping to hit. If you push and they won't go away, hold on to your chips as best you can and see if you can get to showdown cheaply. The 1500 chip starting stack means that you pretty much have one solid hand worth of ammunition (two if you can get away cheap on one) to use to get a little fold equity on your side. Biggest improvement I have made is exactly what bjizzle said, if you start to get resistance hit the brakes and re-evaluate your plan a little and see what you can do, it will make a big difference.
Thanks guys.
I really thought he was calling with A10h-K10h-Q10h and he missed the draw, no overcards on the board and he was calling with a 10.
Thanks for the replys.
I just feel on that turn we are behind to 45 and a set. I doubt its 45 so a set is possible but I would expect a raise on the turn. Thats a pretty dry board, and its a small buy in, his range is superwide he could have floated broadway hands, small PP and AT, JT type hands. I barrel turn here 100%, we could check/call or check/fold river once called on the turn. I guess the main thing is and its something I need to remind myself, its early we are still deep, dont get married to a single pair type hand.
