Hi all,
Small 1 day live MTT (one rebuy allowed); 48 players
First level: 25-50 no antes
8 handed
tubo format with 15m blinds, top heavy pay-out structure.
Start stack 6000.
Lot of aggression; already 1 all in bluff that got caught. So one chipleader (in CO), the rest around 6000.
Hero: button K
Q
UTG limps
CO limp
Hero raises to 200
SB folds
BB folds
UTG & CO both call
Pot is: 675
Flop: 89K all
UTG & CO check
Hero bets 600
Both call --> pot is 2475
Turn: 2
Both check
The pre-flop action + flop action + my history with one of them narrows their ranges to draws and the occasionally made flush. (Top pair is possible but my kicker isnormally better or the same.)
I do block some straights.
What now?
Checking does not accomplish much imo. A spade only gives me second flush. Letting someone make a free straight does not sound that good either. And if they fire on a blank I do have to call (or even push because of format).
Betting is tricky as well if you look at my pot to stack ratio.
I have around 5000 left, pot is already 2500.
Anyway the format made me decide to charge the draws, I bet 2000. Perhaps too big.
UTG folds
CO pushes all in and has me covered
I call the extra 3000 i had left (pot odds and I can rebuy)
River:
P.S. no reads on both players.
