Bad stack off with 60bb?
Hi all,
Would really appreciate some advice, since I was doing pretty well in this tournament and felt I busted kind off weirdly.
109$ Sunday Millions on PS, past late reg, but still far from ITM (2900 left, 1600 paid, I am around place 1100)
I am in the BB with KhJd with 60bb. Folds to SB who min raises. I call.
Flop: (pot: 4.7 BB)
Td9h4d
SB bets 2bb, I call with 2 overcards, a gutshot and some blockers to the flushes that might come.
Turn: (pot: 8.7 BB)
Qd
I make the nut straight, he bets kind of big 3/4 or even close to pot, and I just rip it in, obviously it is a huge overbet, but I think I can be called by all sorts of 2 pair, SD, pair and a FD. I actually did not even think it is likely he has a flush, only concern was if going all in will be too much for him to call.
He had 7d6d and held.
Was the jam very bad? I guess calling and letting him bluff the river makes more sense? I think raising is the same as jamming, bc if I raise and he goes all in, i cannot fold.

It's somewhat of a cooler but I probably wouldn't take this line. I would likely primarily call your hand on the turn with the Jd, BvB your opponent's range will be so wide and if he's bluffing we want to let him keep bluffing and he'll value bet a lot of worse hands on the river. Alternatively, we can raise to get value from the hands you mentioned but I would raise smaller, you're in position and you have the nut straight with a high flush blocker so you want to keep hands with very little equity like a straight draw, flush draw, pair + draw in. When you jam, I think you're going to lose value from folding out all of V's weaker value combos that would call a click.
I'm not sure what a solver would say, but given human dynamics I would say you overplayed your hand.
The queen is a pretty good card for his range. I would just call turn then decide whether a river raise is warranted based on the river card and how he sizes his river bet. You have a strong hand but he still has a lot of potential flushes in his range.
The way you played it you're usually going to be beat when he calls your jam. You're letting the weaker part of his range off the hook and while you usually have the best hand on the turn, your hand is not doing that well against hands that will call the massive jam (mostly flushes).
Yeh calling is much better - he should have a fairly wide range, the queen is a great barrel card for him and if he has a single diamond he probably barrels as well. Much better to go call/call and keep in his bluffs.
As played, the only hand(s) that logically calls your shove has you beat.
Thanks all, indeed i messed up pretty badly...
