300 live tourney spot

First post here, been enjoying the site a lot. I played day 1a of a 300 live tourney today, and this hand has been bugging me.

Table is typical for this buy in. Tons of limping, very little aggression. I cbet with aq on 233 flop and had a guy fold eights face up. Players are very straightforward.

We are at 100/200 no ante. I am at about 11k from a 10k starting stack. 2 limpers and I am on the button with 10 7 spades. I limp along, not worried at all about the blinds raising. Sb calls, bb checks.

Flop comes 8 9 J with two diamonds. Checks to cutoff who bets 500. After that he has about 5800 behind. I raise to 1200, folds back to cutoff, he thinks a bit and calls.

Turn is 10 diamonds. He leads for half his stack, 2300.

Does he ever not have the flush here? At higher stakes I think he has a wider range, but at these stakes I cannot see a straightforward player leading half his stack without the flush.

I folded and hated doing it.

Should I have made my flop raise bigger? How big? 1500? 1800?

As played I like your fold. If you have to put him on a range, you can basically snapfold your hand to his turnlead there. All his hands which didnt improve by that turn tremendously should be scared you have it. Unless he float complete junk.

I would however raise bigger on the flop. Its a draw heavy flop, he's a bad player, you need to get all the chips in the middle! I'd make it anywhere between 1800 to 2300. This also leaves an easy turnjam.

Hope that helps and good luck.

He probably has a low to mid flush and doesn't want another diamond to hit. (he could also have a queen.)
In both cases you are beat and have to fold.
In a soft field like this you don't have to worry about spots like this, because they will make ton of other mistakes and give you their chips later on.

It's an upraised pot so if he has a flush draw it probably isn't big cards. In a tmt like that I think raise his flop bet big. Like2500 which pretty much commits him. If he shoves and you get it in on flop and he gets there u still have half your stack. I wonder if you rr his turn bet if he would fold a small flush?

he probably wont fold a small flush i think raising the turn would be suicidal..he either has a flush or at least a queen imo so fold is probably best...yea u can find better spots later on....and i agree u should raise bigger on the flop as its live...ur sizing for online is fine though..
