Hey folks,

I managed to get to the final table in yesterday's 888 Sunday Mega Deep tournament. I was third in chips when this hand occurred. The preflop aggressor was very active and we had some 3-bet/4-bet/5-bet-wars earlier with no-one of us getting too much out of line, although I saw him at least twice 4-betting me IP and folding to my shove (I don't think that this really matters, but that's pretty much all the history we had). I have the following stats on him:

VPIP: 30
PFR: 26
Raise 1st EP: 20
Flop AF: 4
Flop Agg%: 55
Turn AF: 7
Turn Agg%: 39
Cbet flop: 77

The cold-caller was also one very aggressive player, who was 3-betting a lot. Once he cold-called, I decided to do the same since I had position and was getting good odds. I obviously picked up the dream flop for my hand. I think the flop raise is mandatory since I think that my raise gets called by any overpair and probably raised by big pairs, draws and air. But I think I should have made it 220K - 240K instead of 195K. When villain reraises I put him on either an overpair or random air (overcards). I think that If he had overcards + flush draw, he would have probably made it bigger, although I'm not sure about this and would love to hear opinions on that.

I thought about how to proceed for a while and eventually decided to flat his raise because of two reasons:

1. If I'm playing this hand against his bluffing range, he probably continues to barrell some decent turns (spades to rep a flush, overcards for instance)
2. If he has TT+ with a spade and turn is a spade or TT+ without a spade and turn is no spade, he might ch/jam his overpairs

Turn card is probably not the best card in the deck, but I still think that I get action from his draws. I decided to bet 1/3 of the pot to allow him to ch/jam worse with perceived fold equity. After thinking for a while, he finally ships his stack in. Based on what I thought he would do this with, I called and got busted, which sucked obv.

The reasons for me, to post this hand here, are that I would like to hear some feedback on my thought process and if you guys agree or disagree with what I have said above. I would also like to hear some thoughts on ICM etc. since I was third in chips and should'nt bust in fifth place. Any feedback is appreciated!

Thank you!
