Its been a bit quiet in here lately so lets start summin up.....
Fancied a crack at the poker player online freeroll yesterday at BS, was completely card dead for the whole tournemnt until my last hand where you can guess what happened!!!
Anyway made it to break after some v nitty survival poker due to some poor early decisions on my part. Found a "half my stack" spot to steal some chips and double up, a couple of hands later looked down at kings. And the below happened, gots me chips in as a ~70/30 fav.... but still lost, should I have AI raised and settled for blinds considering next level I am only gonna have 5xBB in front of me?
(IMO the villian would"ve still busted my boys with a call but was this a viable option?)

Flop: (14.4BB)

Turn: (14.4BB) ts (2 players)
River: (14.4BB)

Its a prettty clear raise/shove sit tbh for this kind of tournement and I wld prob do the same thing again given the player, my stack, his stack and our positions but I wonder if there is some next level thinking I can aspire to for these kind of hands?
Given that we could have instead...
Opt 1: 2-3xBB Raise
Opt 2: Shove
Opt 3: Limp
Opt 4:
Fold... and things could panned out differently....
?
Is there a better way to minimise our stack deplenishing when we are behind 30% of the time?
