3b to 1k
Check/call flop

Your line doesn't narrow villain's range so your bets are meaningless
As played you don't know nothing of V's range and you are OOP. Fold turn

Thanks.

Ya I am starting to see the value in checking stronger hands oop.

The 3b size is fine.

I generally follow my 3b with a CB but this is a spot where checking is a good idea. No worse hand will call, except maybe AJ and possibly KQ, but his range can be nutted here with AQ/AT/QQ/TT/KJ. You also have enough equity that you don't want to get raised off your hand, and can pick up a bunch more equity with several turn cards. So x/c flop, and then x/decide turn.

Preflop looks great!

OTF check / calling seems best. You're not going for three streets of value anyway with bricks on turn and river and I agree with Darth about how hard this potentially hits his range.

As played (betting the flop certainly isn't awful!) I would check / call the turn and just try to keep the pot small.

the reraise OTT doesn't leave much behind so he will shove for the rest of his Chips on any river.
so if you call OTT, Keep in mind that you have another tough decision OTR.

he has too many Hands in his range that have you dominated (KJ/AT/AQ). early in the Tournament with Deep stacks, just fold

You definitely want to be taking a check call line with this hand on this board because its hard to get any value from worse while you can easily be beat, especially given the preflop action

I did fold. My thoughts were AQ TT or possibly KJ, didn't really think KJ though.

I was strongly thinking AQ and TT. He could have QQ but think he would most likely four bet QQ.

Thanks for checking it out guys. I see what youre saying with this board, check call oop and keep some pot control with the wild board on the flop.

We don't often get x3 streets from worse on this flop texture given the action so this is great spot to protect your checking range and put this hand into your x/c range otf
