Hey guys!
Just busted a lowstakes live MTT and was wondering if you can give me some advice.
Some info about the tourney:
- It's a live MTT in Prague
- Buyin: 700CZK (±25 EUR) unlimited re-entry, 200k CZK (±7.5k EUR / 300 entries) gtd.
- Starting stack: 40k
- Levels: 15 min. The re-entry period is 12 levels (2k/4k, BB ante).
- Never played here before.
I busted my first bullet a while after this hand in 300/600:
UTG+1 opens to 2k, UTG+2 3-bets to 6k (stack around 30k, no info, just sat down), I 4-bet K
K
in LP to 13.5k and UTG+2 calls.
Flop: J22. He checks, I bet 10k, he jams, I call and he turns over 4
2
.
After busting I re-enter and sit down at a new table. Blinds are now 600/1200 and the second hand I get J
7
in the SB and complete after 3 limpers.
Flop: J72 and I checkraise an LP (3.5k) bet to 12k with 25k behind. He calls, and I jam on an A
turn. He calls with A
9
and I hold. A few hands later he ships his last 5bb and gets two MP callers - 8
6
and 9
5
.
I guess there are around 100 players in the room, the clock says there are 160 entries and the last two levels there have been constantly at least 5 players at the re-entry desk.
Now the hand that I like to hear some advice on, especially (post-flop) sizing:
Blinds 700/1400
UTG+2 opens to 3.7k, UTG+3 flats. I 3-bet A
5
in MP to 12k (stack 75k), and only UTG+3 calls (stack also 75k).
I have no info on Villain, but generalising the style of play I've seen so far, peoples preflop ranges can be pretty wide. Of course this doesn't say anything about Villain, but I thought it was an okay 3-bet spot.
Flop: 1086.
What sizing is best, and more importantly,
why?
Will tell the rest of the hand later, but I'm wondering what you guys think is the best play here.
