Alright, in a bovada $55 10k, closing in on the money, 93 left, 60 something get paid..I have ~35bb good for around top 20.

Moved to new table few hands ago, no real reads yet.

Table chip leader (~45bb) opens in HJ to 2.5x

40bb CO flats

Fishy 12bb BTN flats

Hero (35bb) in BB with TT.....

seems like a pretty easy flat
3b/call sucks a LOT in this mtt
3b/f has some merit but you prob get flatted and then owned in position very frequently

Flat or shove. Nearing bubble with you as a new player at the table I'd say likely that the shove will take it down, and even with a call you have a pretty strong hand against the range of callers. I like the squeeze shove, but if you're going there OOP have to jam.

+1; your bovada opponents' favorite pastimes are baseball and flatting 3-bets

I don't like shoving here - we're way too deep for that unless the original raiser is a complete spewtard.

My preferred play would be to flat particularly if 3Betting might still end up in a 3 or 4way pot regardless.

Care to elaborate on why 3b/c sucks so bad? Only 3b/gii JJ+ AK? What are we 3b/f?

i dunno, rethinking this after a discussion with a friend. 3b/c is actually probably fine

i pretty much rescind everything i said, don't flat, 3b/gii should show a profit

think were making alot of assumptions about villians by 3betting here..we just sat down with no reads, how is this an auto 3bet? think we"ll get into many stiky situations by doing so oop.

You mean, you want to play a hand postflop?
