If I had a nickel for the number of times these hands put me in hard spots, I'd be richer than Doug Polk.
This hand just happened in actually a pretty high buy in tournament, but there were so many satellite entries that it was really more like a micro mtt. Limpers here have a lot of pocket pairs, a lot of marginal holdings, a lot of random suited air and Ax, and then just some total spew.
UTG+1 (60bb)
CO (60bb)
Hero BB (35bb Q
J
)
UTG+1 limps, CO limps behind, hero checks. I don't raise here because both opponents will most likely flat and I'll be bloating the pot out of position in a marginal spot. Unfortunately, this also has the added effect of capping my range, since I will be raising all my better hands.
Flop (4.4bb) Q
6
5
UTG+1 bets 3bb, CO folds, hero calls.
Turn (10.4bb) 9
UTG+1 bets 6bb, hero calls
River (22.4bb) 8
UTG+1 bets 18bb, hero?
(Spoiler spoiler, the spoiler doesn't contain a hand, just some important info)
