what does wug mean?

anyway this is more read dependent, but as I read this readless, it's a fold.

Any reads will create better responses

he never plays a 9 this fast. he prob has some kind of combo draw like QJs or 78s.

yeah i call. sometimes you lose to a better 10 or a slowplayed overpair but more times he has a draw or is just trying to use his stack to bully you.

why can't he have a nine? I think BB's line is fine with one, it's not like he's making a big overbet at any point.

you got any reads here OP, if not you probably should since you're 3 handed at a final table...

You better not be bet/folding the turn when you only have 56k into a pot of 34k. This seems like a really goofy line to take with better Tx or 9x and your in good shape vs QJ, KQ, KJ, 87, J8. Checking back is an option but I don't like it bc I think you can get plenty of value from worse

totally dependend on reads and dynamics. if he was passive i might fold now. betting seems std.

You don't have a ton of chips...I just check back the turn a lot here with this much S/D value

and you still didn't explain why you want to bet the turn

let me put it this way if you bet the turn here you should not need to be making a thread at all....

you now bet with no plan or idea what to do in position....if you think I was leveling or off in suggesting a check back than I retort by are you leveling by asking what you should do when he shoves?

i did it to induce all draws/low pps to jam over my turn bet like i said....was just wondering if people would call now/agree with line as i dont think its a supereasy spot either way

but you bet to induce...so the call should be a snap call...people cannot comment on calling now without having a reason for betting in the first place...

whether betting to induce here is good is very read dependent and hard for us to say...as the cards lie I am not sure we are nearly strong enough to be inducing here in a vacuum

+1 on checking the turn, +1 on snap calling as played.

yeah i agree that its a snapcall if i bet to induce was just wondering if people here are thinking in the same way as me like if they think randoms will take this line enough of the time with draws and other stuff which i beat.

villian was semi-competent fwiw he nvr open limped pre and seemed to be OK post but not great

I was going to say fold, bc he prob has a 9 or a T and if he has a T his kicker is better than yours. Then I realised you'd put nearly half yr stack in already That's why I'd check back the turn. As played, idk you can fold now... meh spot.

Like everyone has said, if you bet the turn here you are snapping his shove. I think checking back is slightly better, since you have showdown value. Once you bet the turn you have over 40% of your stack in the middle, so unless you are bluffing (which you aren't) bet/folding is bad.

All this said, do you have reads? Was this a standard 9 person per table MTT? Were you raising the button a lot at the final table?
