I am really sure I don't like it.

Can I station down here? My image is very laggy. Villain is a sliiiightly winner at mtt's, very small sample. Mainly a cashplayer.

Is this a joke! Fold pre , fold flop, fold turn and pretty much this is a ridiculous question that you Shud be embarrassed posting

Nope. I'm only afraid for K's, but that's unlikely after the turn, aces and random 9. So I did call down, and he had a missed fd.

Think we could argue for x/c flop b/f etc etc. Turn and river standard? C/f turn? B/f seems unnecessary I think

Ya this. Think that hand is basically the epitome of what this thread is supposed to be for so not entirely sure I understand the hate..

I would probably play it the same way versus someone I don't know much about.

Opponent is competent. I've been relatively nitty but have got in my share of opens and 3bets. He's been active but not crazy or anything. I feel like he's checking back the river so often. Giving up on his bluffs like Q9, 64s, 65s type hands. Checking back his value hands like K8, K5s, 85s, etc. I have about a pot size bet on the river. What do you think about leading like 250k on river? Lead shoving? Checking to induce?

Bet or probably jam river.

i think betting something really tiny like 80-120k is best. i dont think he's gonna have many Ks or 8's or 33 very often but if he does you will squeak out a little bit of value from them as he will be extremely tilted over the sizing and never fold any form of 2 pair that he would likely just check back (and could very likely raise some of these hands vs this bet). also a lot of the time he's gonna have bluffs and semi bluffs and will likely bluff again, and in most instances, more often vs this than a check. i think something as big as 250k isn't as effective since he rarely will have a hand good enough to call that and will bluff vs it way less often.

shove

Jamming river is def good with QJ

Stone Money Bubble - 1k Live MTT. 20 pay, 21 left.
Most players are playing fairly cautiously, but theres definitely been good 3betting spots for the middle stacks.

4k/8k/1k ante

Hero: 85k
V1 110k
BTN 140k Button
SB 60k
BB 80k

Hero has ...
44
AQo
JTs

Are these 3 all profitable and standard open ship spots?

4cardstraight,
Yes

I would ship 44 and AQo, but fold JTs

Its 55 2x chance turbo, direct bubble, i opened the previous hand and everyone folded. Everyone behind is a reg.

Just rip er on in there, what else would we do?

This

as you get better and better, of course it will be harder to get value from the forums - you surpass people if you are working hard...

I too wonder how some of the people that post play high stakes anything
- but we should be glad they do
- and we could just ignore the threads we have contempt for - and you were a beginner once too (ok you may have been 14, but you were)
- and really (taking the 4 betting AK 300bb deep after opening UTG and wondering what to do to the 5) - isnt it useful for you to know that some players consider this a problem?

And Im sure a year ago, if not last week, I've posted **** that makes me look like a noob...

Dunno - this is a community - lets act like it and be nice (sounds so gross) to one another - and yes some people are better than others.... sometimes much...

just wanted to see if anyone suggests raising instead of shoving

I'd raise call vs. some people fold vs. others. with kqo otb.

minraising your whole range sounds terrible.

On the direct bubble, when getting all in is a disaster, i think it's optimal.

Well, the problem is the 80k stack and BB will realize that and ship way wider than they would call, making the minraise with KQ problematic

Not if I am m/r calling the top of my range and tightening my opening range.
