I just got run over in an MTT and the first hand set it up, so I thought I'd post it here.
Never had played against any at the table previously. Flop seems standard. Turn - I usually bet here, but check occasionally. My thinking on the river fold was...well, it was the first hand and I was reluctant to call an all-in with only top pair. Would you fold here against an unknown as played (checking turn)? Would you bet turn? Bet different amounts anywhere? TIA
