$50 8-game MTT. I am playing a little looser because i have skill advantage in the tournament and TD is maybe my best game. You don't see really terrible play, but it is at the level of a fairly low stakes cash game. No reads on villain.
CO raises. I have T9764 in the BB and defend and draw 2. I think it maybe would have been better to draw 1, as I would make much fewer straight draws that way. Would anyone pat or fold?
CO draws 1. I brick and x/f. I partly folded because it was a tournament, although I had about 15 big bets, and of course because CO drew 1. I know you usually don't fold after the first draw due to pot odds. Was the fold bad?
467 definite defense to a co. The problem is when you x/c 4679 in the bb, you're telling him you have a crappy 4c hand. Whereas he probably would've(correctly) checked back unimproved on 3rd off equal draws. Vs. your garbage 4c, he is now correct to barrell unimproved pretty much any of his hands to hope to fold you out like he did there. That's one other reason not to keep the 9, if your 4c hand isn't strong enough to reraise, don't play it as a call. Besides, raw equity wise you gain nothing from keeping the 9 and you lower your implied odds.
