MTT Hand 5- Critical Pot with 6-6 |

Ok, this is my 1st hand on a new table.There is 95 players left from over 3,000 in a big online tourney. Where 1st is $115k.
Blinds are something like $1,700/$3,400.
Folds round to sb who completes.He Has around $100,000. I am sittin with $110,000.
I find 6  6  I decide to make it $10,200 to go. Pot = $24,000
He calls.And Flop comes:
A  7 5 . He checks, I opt to check. My reason here is, I dont believe he is folding a flush draw , and I realy dont want to swell up the pot so he might bluff me later, so I am lookin for a brick on turn, or if a scare card comes and fires I will fold, and have only lost the $10k.
Anyhoo, Turn drops 8 . And He fires out $24,000. I immediately thought he cant be that strong, he limped from sb only called the raise.So I couldnt beleive he would have an Ace, and if he has an 8 or 7 a re raise will get him to fold for sure. Because he bet the size of the pot I couldnt even get the idea of him having a flush in my head so that was out of question for me , or at least less 5% chance he had the flush. So I decided to move all in.
Now , criticize, analyze ..praise?....lol

i would also prefer a bet on the flop
but if i had the 6of clubs then i'd like the play
but all i know is i'm not playing anywhere near good in blind vs. blind situations

This is such a WA/WB situation and the problem here is weighting how often he's ahead vs. behind. You can find a better spot than this one, and you've got a healthy stack, I'd fold.

This is one of those play that you either look like a God if he has no clubs and he folds a better hand or you look like a joke if he calls with 9c 8s and he wins unimprove.

He calls with Kc7 and you river your straight to win.

I would bet the flop as the last money I put into the pot.

I concur.
Playing it the way you did is just too many variables for me to handle, but your reasoning seems fundamentally sound. Just too much guesswork for my taste.

The check on the flop has confused what action I would take on the turn, villain could have perceived weakness and tried to end it, with 3 over cards he may have also hit something, I like the all-in from where you are now, you have outs with the OESD. I would have bet the flop for information.
