A few spots that I wasn't quite sure about.
First spot. Villain seems a bit splash. He has checkraised a few times on the flop and it has usually worked against other player. We haven't seen him shown down anything crazy.
Blinds 15K/25K/25K
Hero 525K
Villain Covers (about ~900k)
Preflop: Hero has J
T
in CO (7 handed)
We raise to 55K, BB defends
Flop: T
7
4
Villain checks, Hero bets 40K, Villain raises to 110K, Hero shoves
(I thought that there are basically no turn cards that I am happy to see, except maybe a 2 or 3) and we are going to be going with the hand unless a spade comes on the turn. There is a chance that this player might be checkraising something random just a piece of the board).
Second Spot:
I wrote this one down in BBs
We are getting close to the money (maybe 20 away at this point) and we are new to the table.
Hero has 21BB, Villain covers (45BBish)
Preflop: Hero has A
J
UTG
We raises to 2.1BB, 2 folds, Villain 3 bets to 5.25BB, folds back to Hero and we.....?
It's such a small raises, but I really can't call here and fold on a J or A flop. Is this too weak to be fold here (I thought I might be getting pushed around some of the time)? People were doing all kinds of wonky things in this tournament. I saw a few times players would 3 bet 1/3 of their stack and fold to a shove. I couldn't believe how many times I saw that happen.
