hi all, this is my 1st post, i would like some advice please, i was playing in a casino on holiday in alicante, last night, saturday, it was a multi table 50 euro freeze out, with a 20 euro bounty. 83 runners 10 seater. starting stack 10,000 chips. i have safely navigated my way to the last hand before the 1st break were the blinds were now 150-300 i have 11,000 chips. my plan to fold my A-7 of clubs and return with a just below average chip stack went pearshaped when utg raised to 1000, folded all the way around to the small blind who made up the call, so to me in the bb. 700 into 2300 3way i will have a look, i am not looking for an ace i want clubs. flop 3 6 9 two clubs. pfr bets 1000 i put him on a lower flush draw or he has missed ? sb folds, i min raise to 2000 hoping A. for a fold or B. a call, then i think i am right ? he jams all in.if i fold now, after the break i would then come back with 20 bigs. decision time ! the rest of my 8000 chips to win 24,000 or fold. I called, he shows a set of 9s. i miss, gutted. going back with over 24k would have set me up nicely but i thought all the way through i was getting the odds. WAS THIS PLAY CORRECT ? i thought just calling his bet would be wrong, as when i missed i might chase a river and be left really crippled.
i look forward to your replies. kind regards terry.
ps i thought about jamming myself instead of re-raising, but i thought it looked too obvious.
also. sorry, i should mention that the pfr was on a stack of 12.500. so he was in my situation really win or out !!

    why do you put him on a lower flushdraw or that he has missed? he bets into multiway pot as UTG open so i would say he easily has TT+ here.

    raise bigger on the flop and get it in imo. you could also lead/3bet shove the flop

    Hi Lol, in reply i suppose it is just inexperience, but his c bet looked weak, only 1000 into 3000 i read it as a big ace or flushing, i nearly did shove after the flop but thought it looked obvious, i was never folding and really want to know how you would have played it. ( i know, fold pre flop )  i wish i had. lol

    thank you for your reply, i much appreciate it, and i do know that your advice is from the top drawer, as you are a regular on the tele and have been in my situation 1000´s of times. 

    regards terry.

    Hi Road, 

    I moved the original version of this post to the Poker clinic as that is, by far and away, the best place on the forum to get feedback and advice on how to play.

    I will close this discussion now but leave it up for a few days to let it get some attention.  Anyone who has any comments can post them on the Poker clinic thread.

    Cheers
