So the casino I was playing at is closing down so the poker room was hosting a $250 tournament as a farewell. It ended up getting 195 entries which for my area is amazing for a 1 day tournament.

The hand in question is with 11 people left in the tournament and I have $815 locked up with 10th receiving $900. If you are wondering 1st paid $10k. I had been playing standard all night, made quite a few hero calls and tough folds.

So I’m in the BB with Qc6c. 375k effective at 10k/25k blinds. Action folds to the SB who limps in. She was a pretty aggressive player but has decent earnings. I look down at my hand and knowing I’m probably ahead preflop and want to take it down I raise it to 80k. She calls.

Flop comes QhTd3d, she checks, I bet 75k. She calls.

Turn is the 4d bringing in the flush. She open jams. I go into the tank. I’ve already committed half my stack essentially and was going to jam if she checked again. Is this a fold with essentially 6BB left? I know ICM probably tells me to fold the but an 85 dollar payjump doesn’t seem worth folding for.

I figure if she has diamonds, she has it and GG. So I decide to call her shove and she has 25dd.

Should I have jammed preflop for 13BB or is the result unfortunate as if I checked instead of raising preflop it still would have went in?

TLDR: Q6cc preflop, SB limps I raise to 3x she calls. Flop comes QT3hdd, I bet she calls, turn is 4d. She jams, I tank call, she has flush. I lose in 11th.
