Id raise or fold pre flop. As played I would raise the flop...

Really surprised nobody likes folding pre. Not only because utg might already have us crushed but there's also 6 more people to act behind. When you flop your TP your never gonna be confident you have the best hand anyway. Seems like you risk a lot to gain a little.

Giving randoms at 2/180s too much credit thinking AQ is crushed there. If you have a specific read, then yeah, you can find a fold. Vs randoms though, I think a flat is basically our only option.

Like Hero's line. I don't hate it if you decide to take the initiative on the flop once UTG+1 checks either.

I dont think utg has us crushed, i think he might have us crushed. That + the possibility that 1 of the people behind you decides to 3bet/call with a low pair or other random crap makes this not that great of a spot imo. tbh i suck at turbo's but most great players at these 180's seem to be really tight early. Btw it's not that i hate the way OP played it it's just that i figured this wasn't that obvious of a spot. Anyway, thanks for correcting me

I like the line as well. Alternatively, you could value bet thin OOP OTR because of the weak villain's bet OTT but checking the river might be better in case villain decides to bluff.

Btw, what would you do if villain shoves OTR?
