    This is an interesting line that I can't say I've encountered a whole lot. Without any reads, I can see a few possibilities.

    1) he flopped any of the 3 sets or top 2p, got scared by the 3rd diamond and leads OTT to protect, then shoves OTR for value when it bricks
    2) he turns 2p with T9s or T7s and bets for same reason as #1
    3) he turns some sort of combo draw (Ad with a 7, 8, 9 or T maybe) and wants to build a pot for when he hits and give himself a chance to bluff the river if he misses
    4) he turned a small flush and wants to protect OTT and go for value OTR
    5) he turned the stones and is just going for max value

    Given that you beat some of his value range and that he should have some bluffs in his range, I think it's a call. If you lose, I assume it's a re-entry and level 1, so just yell chips and click the re-enter button. Maybe I'm being spewy though.

    This is tough. Because im assuming you're also betting overpairs on flop and turn. And now with top set you're obv at the very top of ur range.

    Id honestly have to sharkscope or google search his name and see if he's a crusher or rookie.

    Considering its third hand in a micro mtt. Im probs calling. This is rarely a bluff though. But he definitely could be value owning himself. Only bluff imo is the naked Adx.

    Looks like a fold. Both draws get there on turn and you block hands villains would c/x otr.
    I don't think this is close either.
    Even if he thinks his T9s is the nuts there are not many combos of that.... The 100bb you have left are better spend than calling here in donkaments

    Third hand with deep stacks I'm flatting TT.

    I would discount the possibility of a flopped set, most micro players would limp behind with 33/77 and probably 99 most times too. Absent a read i also dont think you can give him credit for the straight because unknown micro players aren't raising J8/86 pre flop. So I think his range is much more polarized. AKdd/AQdd/AJdd definitely fit, but so do many Adx hands.

    As difficult as it is, this early in the tournament and absent a read I'm giving him credit for the hand he's repping. If his range is as polarized as I think, the fact that you have a set is almost irrelevant and just makes it harder to fold.
