How has the villain been playing so far?

Loose PT had him at 40/15/2.2 only had 21 hands of data on him though, i hadnt payed attention to what he had previousley shown down at showdown.

Is this a turbo game? Can't remember if it's the $4 or $10 180 player SNGs are turbo on Stars

what was the outcome?

I would've check/called. You still had second nuts flush draw too.

It is a $4.40 tourney on stars im slightly under the average prior to the hand, the tourney does have a great structure but i do feel the pot size on the turn compared to my stack makes it really hard for folding.

Without much information on him, i get the feeling there's a fairly wide range that's called the pre flop bet, the worst being QJ, discounting a made flush.

He has you outchipped, and a shove from you is less than a pot bet, so that move isn't scaring him off.

Best case scenario is KxJx has come along for the ride

I shoved the turn he called Ah,3h

DO you think the over betting the pot on the flop to knock out the draws was correct or should i have bet less to make it easier for folding the turn?
