Comments on all streets appreciated.

Pre is fine.

Flop is probably a raise in position, MP has all the overpairs and Tx that will pay off multiple streets. Theory may suggest we never raise here multi-way but in $100 live tournaments just getting in money is never going to be bad.

I think seeing the action in front of me I’m fine just getting it in on the turn. When UTG+2 donks and MP raises he has 15k back in a pot that’s already over 16k. Flatting looks really strong and might induce hero folds with worse if MP checks river. If we jam, we also get to have some bluffs that maybe put some hands like overpairs or MP’s best Tx in the blender. If he’s folding AA in this spot, then your bluffs just print.

That being said in a $100 tournament you can get away with this cold call a lot. And maybe with 77 and TT exactly we still get to trap.

As played we just call river because sometimes this is 22 or 55 or a weirdly played overpair.

I raise on the flop to get straight draws and gutters to fold.

As played on the turn I don't hate the call because in theory UTG+1 might call with Tx/55/22 and it is unlikely UTG+1 is leading with a straight draw. I also assume from all of the x's that there is no flush draw out there. I also doubt MP raised preflop with 98s and then raised the turn with just a straight draw.

I would call the river. It is especially not a big deal if we lose because we can buy back in (hopefully).
