A good play or a bad beat?

[Miguel Gomes]

Hello. I made this play on a SNG
i´m on the dealer position and i got pocket Aces. Everybody folds and i bet 400 (blinds100/200). SB folds and BB calls (BB stack is bigger than mine, about 6500, mine 2600). The flop comes 6h-Qc-4c. The BB checks and I bet 650. He calls and now i know that he´s on a flush draw. the turn comes 7d. he checks again and i go all-in. He calls. He has Kc7c. The rivers brings me a fantastic 7s. Did i played well or was just a bad beat? I posted this specific hand because i just read the EV information.

You got him to call well behind

Looks like you got what you wanted, min-raised for action, guy flopped the draw then hit his hand.

With 2600 left there is some argument for a shove, 13BBs isn't a whole lot. If you want to raise, try 2.5x to 500, that way you do not give such good odds that guys might call with anything.

As played post-flop, not much you can do. I like the 650 bet. FTR, I don't like the villain's line. I'd have either A. bet out and got the chips in if you reraised/shoved or B. check-raised you, even at risk of looking like a draw.

I wouldn't cry too much, you got in ahead when the chips hit the middle. You wanted action on your aces... you got it.

As said before, not much to improve there apart from the pre-flop minraise.

I agree one sees this play (advocated) a lot, but I only see it being effective in games where villains will almost exlusively re-raise/steal or fold. Typical games one gets flatted so often, 2.5x is a bare minimum in order to make just calling somewhat of an error.

As played, villain did have a decent amount of outs, so you can't call this a bad beat. Runner-runner is just an unusual way to lose this hand, just like "catching" the and the board pairing would have been an unusual way to win it.
You can't allow yourself to linger on outcomes like this. If you hadn't already, just mark villain as a fish and turn your attention to the lobby in order to find your next game.
