My image is pretty TAG, I'm running at 18/11, no reads on 1st flatter, but 2nd flatter had splashed around a bit previously. Should I just be shoving the flop with the amount thats in the middle and my stack? WWYD on the turn as played? Should I be just trying to check it down due to the all in player, or is the iso worth the risk? Thoughts on anything appreciated.

FWIW, on the flop, I was planning on check/folding to the first flatter, and check/calling the splashy guy.

I'm jamming pre with 99 in this spot

think the action was closed. i'd rather keep checking

That's a pretty tough spot. I don't think I would check the flop, then shove the turn. If I'm shoving, I'm doing it on the flop when it looks stronger. Or check flop then check the turn and use your reads on the guys. You switched game plans in the middle of the hand which isn't usually good. Since you checked the flop, you should have continued the plan and used your reads, e.g. fold to a bet from the first flatter, call from the second.

Overall I'm leaning to committing your stack with 99 here. The earlier you commit the stack, the stronger. Waiting to shove the turn was probably the worst time to shove.

The reason I shoved the turn was that once it gets checked through on the flop, i think i have the best hand a very large % of the time and dont really wanna let overpairs get there. Plus I'm not sure they're gonna bluff the turn after they just passed up the opportunity to just bet the flop in position.

I'd expect to run into a better hand more often than a worse hand calls you. Don't think theres enough value in shoving for protection

Both of these are reasons why shoving the turn isn't too ideal. You still have a 10-bb stack and in this tournament that's enough to be able to hold out for clearer opportunities to double up. I'd go the conservative route since you didn't shove earlier and avoid shoving for protection since the other two guys have indicated that they won't bluff.

Shove pre. As played I like post flop.

Easy shove pre.

just open shove pre with 5.5M

All in before the community cards

ram pre
mini bet flop

Shoving pre should always be your move here.

x2

REALLY?

+1 to jam pre. Are we jamming ATss or 88 here as well?

+4 Jam pre

As played, I'm bet/calling flop on the small side. It looks committing but can get value from AK hands, push out other random overs w/ an A, and induce spastic betting patterns from villain!

I prefer to open ( as you did ) instead of shoving preflop . Although once SB's reopen the betting , not shoving/isolate is a huge/gigantic mistake ; calling with 12BB's already in the pot and having yourself just about the same left is utter terrible and makes no sense . I am surprised you actually called there .
The fact that your image is TAG makes it even worse.

SB DOES NOT REOPEN THE BETTING

ppl tend to answer hard post flop questing by "shove pre"

i dont tend to shove pre any stuck above 10-12bb... mainly cuz i feel i can outplay most opponents post flop...

1. its easier to get extra bets from ppl that u r winning
2. its do-able to make some better hands fold, i feel that there is room with 15bb stuck to do so
3. u lose anyway to monsters that would call u anyway...
4. ppl dont call raises from SS with speculative hands anyway in order to just "protect" yourself by shoving...

and generally shoving pre marginal hands is +++varaince move

on the specific hand i would be very tempted to shove flop... but i would cheack it down also and fold to a bet..

???

SB shove is less than a min raise

Sorry , thanks .

It explains quite well why OP did not reshove

i do think this is right around the threshold where i prefer openshoving pre rather than r/?.

postflop is a weird spot though. im kinda tempted to just c/f it down given the dry sidepot. i think that will not only make people less likely to bluff (so we don't have to worry as much about folding the best hand on the turn), but might also make them more likely to check the flop with top pair, because fish are obsessed with the whole implicit collusion thing of checking down dry sidepots.

I like the jam but when u get called I have to imagine it has to be by a set, 1010, 88. Of which your only ahead of 1 of these hands. Probably would have cont bet on the flop or even jammed the flop.
