Hey folks,
I normally play >100BB Cash Game, but want to start playing more MTTīs and learning a lot of new stuff.
After some MTTīs I found situations preflop, where I felt very uncomfortable.
And this is the play with 88/99/TT and BBīs between 25 and 35.
I found 5 Hands in PokerTracker and hopefully someone gives me some advice for my game and maybe some "baselines" for this situations.
Thx a lot.
At all these hands bubble is far away.
#1
1250/2500 Ante 325 NL (8 max) - Holdem - 8 players
SB: 88,026
BB: 42,241
UTG: 64,336
UTG+1: 135,627 → 38/17 (96)
MP: 88,215
MP+1: 115,908
CO: 155,999 → 28/15 (62)
Hero (BTN): 81,821 (33BB)
8 players post ante of 325, SB posts SB 1,250, BB posts BB 2,500
Pre Flop: (pot: 6,350) Hero has 8
8
fold,
UTG+1 raises to 5,000, fold, fold,
CO calls 5,000,
Hero calls 5,000
Is this a standard flat with 33BB?
#2
2000/4000 Ante 500 NL (8 max) - Holdem - 8 players
SB: 38,054
BB: 167,009 (42BB)
UTG: 85,956
UTG+1: 105,900 (26BB)
MP: 166,356
MP+1: 176,574
CO: 307,746
Hero (BTN): 136,534 (34BB)
8 players post ante of 4000, Hero posts SB 2000, BB posts BB 4000
Pre Flop: (pot: 2,000) Hero has 8
8
fold,
UTG+1 raises to 8,000, MP folds, MP+1 folds,
CO calls 8,000,
Hero raises to 30,000, folds, folds,
UTG+1 raises to 105,900 and is all-in, folds,
Hero calls
In this scenario I 3Bet/call because the effective stack size was 26BB and I don't want to shove, because the BB covers me.
Also just flatcall like Hand#1?

This hand I really don't know how to play it right.
If I just "normal" 3Bet maybe to 10-15K, I don't want two or more callers (If MP starts to call and other players get good implieds). Every J,Q,K,A sucks in a MW Pot.
Shove is to dangerous, because I risk the whole tournament?
