Giving those reasons, shipping looks good, though the first one is a bit overrated, since you're going to be in a dry side pot, getting bluffed off isn't as a big of a concern (at least with this specific hand). If villain was loose but would fold a lot of dominated Ax to your ship, then I'd flat, same against a reg.

Thanks Puzo!
That's true for the dry side pot, didn't considered that.

We are ITM. SB is 20/21 (31 hands)
He has so far only one 3bet: a shove resteal from the BB against me (he was at that time 40bb)
I felt like he is a good player.

My plan here was open / call any shove from BB and BTN. Didn't expect SB to make any move because BB is loose and short.
When I got min 3bet from SB I didn't considered 4bet shove because unless he is trying to level me with a second 3bet vs me, I am always behind here.

Was fold the right play? I am not deep enough to call right?

Just from a range/exploitability consideration, folding the 88 after opening the CO seems clearly incorrect. You can flat his 3-bet, you're getting 2.3 to 1 pot odds and can win an extra 437k for another ~11:1 implied odds when you flop a set. I flat in this situation

If villain were more aggressive, I'd likely rip this one in, just to scoop up the 130k in the middle frequently.

Yep fold was terrible :s flat > 4bet here because I can only get called by better or at most a flip. So if I decide to playback here it would means to turn my hand into a bluff. Generally speaking, considering the fact that we are in a MTT , shouldn't we try to avoid 4bet bluff for all our chips and have more a value 4bet all in range oriented with a medium stack?

Am I correct?
Also, do you think in that exact situation with BB short, I over estimated the chances of SB never being light here?

I think as you imagine different ranges that aren't either nutted or loaded with bluffs, you will realize that the 88 is pretty much always a flat here. Also, I would rather 4bet bluff shove a hand like A5s, which does almost as well against a TT+ AQ+ calling range, but blocks AA/AK/AQ (31.38% equity for 88, 31.24% for A5s)

fold is indeed terrible... if he's good he can 3b light here ( but i assume he ll never 3b light with this sizing )... +1 for flat

Given what hero folded I'd say it's a great sizing though it in theory works better against shorter stacked openers (say 20-25 bb) or in position.

Thanks for the thoughts.

ITM 140 left (3500)

UTG 13/13 (8 hands)
CO 30/11 (60 hands) : likes to limp and only calls goods hands. From what I saw I don't give any credits to CO.

Standard shove? I put UTG on 22-77;KK;AA

I would shove all in here. I thought you played it perfectly.

Hi guys, what are your thoughts on how to deal with this donk bet from the BB on a drawy board?

BB and BTN have 40+ VPIP over 35 and 50 hands, respectively. SB has 67 over 6 hands.

I guess folding is a mistake here given I have about 55% equity against sets, 88, A5, K5, 98, and connectors and one-gappers with a 5 in them.

Do we call or raise and why?

Thanks.

99 shove was good.

With A9s our relative position is so bad that I don't think we can do anything but fold. We have two potential opponents behind us, and the range you're assigning villain seems a bit inappropriate/wishful with respect to the amount of hands we are ahead of. We probably wouldn't cbet this flop either.

Pretty much this, but its still tempting to float the flop this deep with our hand.

Thinking it's fine. Pre might be a little loose but w/e.

Not really sure about this one, should I have flatted pre or 3-bet bigger?

3bet like 600 at least if you think it's better than flatting. Flop is obviously well played.

Did I make the right call here?

I would of 3 bet

Made a post for this because I couldn't find this sticky on the app. Sorry about that. My hand belongs in here, so I'd like to state it here as well.

Live tournament. £300+30

Just moved to the table.

10 players. Blinds 400/800, 100 ante (i.e. 12.5%bb). Far away from bubble. 30 min blind levels.

I have 12 bb on BU. HJ around 25bb. SB/BB also 25bb+.

Hero has QTo.

Folds to HJ who opens to 1600. CO folds.

Pot is 4000.

I shove for 9600.

Shove here good? Or only in BB, because SB/BB could come into the hand too? QTo is bottom of our reshoving range here. But I feel that in these live tournaments, players open reasonably wide but don't call shoves very often. Due to the high antes (even so higher b/c 10players at the table) I feel we should shove here lighter than usual. There's just so much dead money.

Don't really play tournaments but had this hand, not sure if we are getting called here a lot,

Situation is... I'm new to the table so don't really have any information on anyone, but this guy did open quite big the hand before with 22 and called a shove for 16bbs. Final 50 of 1800 entries no major pay jumps.

My thinking is that we may be able to get some weaker Aces to fold, probably can fold out a lot of kings too. How about my sizing?

you definitely get it in if the flop come Ace high on a dry board. With so much money already invested in the pot your spree is about 1:1 and the only hand we're scared of are sets which is very unlikely for him to have especially since we have the Ace blocker. I don't think people at these stakes limp call 4x raise tug w small pairs, if so it's a losing play. Folding here would be terrible since and Ace is what we're hoping for. my take on it.

$11 on Carbon, 10 players left out of 900+, final table bubble.
Table going 5-handed for a long time.

Q - what was the proper bet size on the flop, after I flopped the flush.

My all-in bet was a bit panicky, should I've bet the pot to chase the draws with Ac or Kc out? But then I'm close to pot-committed anyway.

Ever folding here? 67/97, 77 get a seat in the SM. I probably played like 15-20 satts in the last 3 years or something.

Wp. U are prolly not going to make it without playing a hand. This is a good spot go double up.

ty sir

Can I get more value on this board? No stats on villain, far from money.

Do you prefer to cbet here and take it down or get value from lower overpairs? At the moment, I thought there's so many more unpaired high card combos than overpairs that I prefer to check and let V catch up.

If an ace comes on the turn, I'm calling one bet then probably fold river.

As played, I think the check back on the river is a mistake, as villain won't have too many tens in his UTG-raised hand.

Opinions?
