Today i was down to the final 8 in the 256 man freeroll on FTP for the national heads up thing. But anyway, I had been playing against this guy for about 12 min. at the time and i believe the blinds were at 40-80. We are almost dead even stacked, he has played pretty conservative and took back my blind steals with reraises and the occasional pot, so it was a war so far. I'm on the button with Ks-3h, i raise to 2-1/2 BB and he calls. flop is Kh-9h-2c he min bets, i raise the size of the pot. he almost snap calls, so at this point i am thinking draw because he would have jammed with two pair or a better K. The turn is the 6c and he min bets again. here is the questionable play. I decide that since I put him on a draw, i need to get it all in here, not sure whether or not he will call an all in on a draw about 50-50 from my observation, and hope he calls and misses. Of course I push and he snap calls because the pot is actually almost giving him good odds (doesn't really matter when it's heads up for your tournament life, which most don't understand) he endes up having 6h-7h and the 4 of hearts comes on river and he knocks me out. Should i have just called his bet knowing he was on a draw then make a decision on the river, or was i right to force him to put it in bad. The wonderful question all poker players dealing with a bad swing in variance can ask themselves. Gl on the felt everyone

I think he just made up his mind that he was committed and was going to the river for the flush. He was callling any bet..you might have saved some money as he might check to you. With top pair and a relatively full pot I might check him once to see what he does if he's SP'ing a set. Oh well!! You tried...next hand!!
Peace,
