This is a hand from the FTOPs $129 knockout from last night.

MP2 is not a reg, probably a satellite qualifier playing pretty tight over 45 hands. From Israel...

not a regular playing pretty tight... i could see him calling pre-flop with 7's or 10's, so i'd probably let it go as i will see his cards anyways...

Vs. a random it's a pretty disgusting spot in the fact that if I call the flop I will most likely have to call most turns too which won't improve my hand if he has me beat. He could have a random Kx thing.

Shoving seems pretty bad as you get the whole called by better/fold out worse.

I thought fold>>call>>>>>>>shove but just wondered what everyone else thought..(given the bounty his bluff % could be slightly higher though unlikely)..

Bet more on the flop to start with . It would help you to define better villain´s attachment to the hand.

The fact he has to show his hand somehow strengths his holding and diminishes the possibilities of making a move with air.

As played,call and watch/study his turn sizing.

Eww nasty spot. I'd probably call flop, then fold on a blank turn and be like "lol why did I call the flop?" and then post the hand on 2+2.
