Interesting spot against an unknown, no reads.

1) Is a call preflop best given we have position and are deep? I didn't see much value in raising vs an unknown

2) What's the best line on the flop?
We pick up an oesd on a very wet board and the OR pots the flop. I just called at that time as this bet felt like a protective bet given he was up against 2 players and the flop is likely to have hit us to some degree. Any though to raising? Folding?

3) The turn card was very interesting and he checked very quickly.
What would you do here? Bet/fold? Check back?

hi mikel

pre good

flop good

i would check back ott bc I think V pot controls Ax and c/c KQ/KK a lot here. no reason to turn our hand into a bluff when we can realize a ton of equity by checking.

Pre is good, flop is good.
We have very good equity against a lot of hands.
I think I prefer a bet on this turn. If this guy has KQ, KK we can get these hands to fold on the river if we miss our draw with a second bet.
Checking back is ok as well, I just think betting 35-40% bet gives us more information on the strength of our opponents hand.

Pre/flop good

always checking turn, no need to start making large pots early on in tournaments with marginal draws and getting into sticky situations.
