[Tt - Button - 3 Tables Left Mtt]

If you never commit your whole stack with TP/Overpair when you are coverd and have 35 bbs or so you probably arent losing much equity in the long run.

I need to print this out and repeat it like a mantra....Thank you, this is a big leak of mine, because I have been known to stack off a ton of chips before in a manner like this....I'm not familiar to you because I haven't been around in at least one year, maybe two..... and I didn't post too awful much before.... thank you for responding though.

[Tt - Button - 3 Tables Left Mtt]

Really? Because I see this as how somebody plays AK big time....Pot sized bet to get rid of whatever else other junk I may be calling with (because lets face it, I'm on the button, I have plenty of room to play flops if I want with this guy....) Also, he has the gutshot outs with AK or AQ... he can buy the pot with a pot sized bet if I have sooooted connectors such as 9T, TJ, or if I'm calling with other hands as well.....I also agree that the results are skewed because I posted the results, but come on... if you guys think a pot sized bet = big pocket pair then you must fold to pot sized bets 85% of the time??????? I also understand with the stack sizes I could set mine here, and that may be the correct line to take... At the point in time, I just saw UTG as a very marginal, aggressive player that I may be ahead of here.... I've seen him take two very loose lines earlier (see my examples).Copernicus, you were one of the people I would hope would post here.... So thank you for your input."Bet Pot" to me, says, "I don't know what else to bet, but I want to REPRESENT strength." Key word bolded.I fell into the trap of seeing MY hand... and making big assumpitions about my opponents, but not thinking what else I could be up against.

This is one of the daily doubles on FTP... so about 1000 players thereabouts.....He has shown down a 3-bet with KT preflop in a SB VS BB situation, in a situation where he didn't need to put so many chips in the pot....He called a very big all in not too long before that with AQ in MP for about 2/3 of his stack. Luckily, the donk he was up against managed to shove UTG with AT. Maybe that was read based... anywho... on to the hand.Tell me what you would do... and why.

[Hitting Top Set, What's Your Line?]

It's one of those risky moves that you love when it works but you kick yourself when it doesn't. I lost with top set (Queens too, I think) the other night when I played it tricky and lost to a backdoor flush on the river. But if you think you have a good read that he'll take a stab on the turn when you check, go for it.

Ya, but you're going to get it in anyway right? I mean, if he's got nothing but still calls, then this is the guy you want to bet into you on the turn, and if he has something, a bigger bet (pot? 2/3 pot?) probably isn't going to chase him away and you're still going to have to make the crying call if whatever hits.To me this seems like a better play than "not offering him the correct odds to continue". With the stack size in this example (which is very typical), I think that checking the turn usually signifies you're giving up ESPECIALLY after a SMALL flop bet. Just my opinion.

[Hitting Top Set, What's Your Line?]

Just giving the hand below as an example hand, which (to me, anyway) seems pretty typical situation for when you get your set, and you're looking to see what you can get for value. We're heads up on the flop, but there are two spades and lots of straight possibilities.This is from a 9.90/360Poker StarsNo Limit Holdem TournamentBlinds: t150/t300(Ante: t25)9 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: t3423Hero: t4825MP1: t9169MP2: t6548MP3: t10095CO: t2911Button: t4105SB: t8258BB: t2940Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is UTG+1 with Q Q UTG folds, Hero raises to t800, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t800 (pot was t1475), 5 folds.Flop: Q 7 T (t2275, 2 players)Hero bets t900, MP2 calls t900 (pot was t3175).Betting less than half the pot here.... why? Trying to make it look like a weak c-bet, or that I'm now drawing to the nut flush. This low price will keep people in with weaker hands that I dominate such as AT, JJ, 99, 88, etc. I do leave open the possibility that the flush or straight will hit, but I'm willing to take that risk for the chance that he will raise me, or else this next turn move......Turn: 9 (t4075, 2 players)Hero checks, MP2 bets t1500, Hero raises all-in t3100, MP2 calls t1600 (pot was t8675).I think 80-90% of the time, a smart player is going to try to take you off this hand if you check the turn.

• There's a straight that could've been hit
• You check here, you look like you're giving up on the hand, you could have easily shoved, and your current stack is less than the pot
• yes, KJ is within the range of the opponent's hands, but so much else is too.
• An aggressive opponent in position will bet if he has any piece of this once you show weakness

I know I'm giving a good price for him to hit his draw, but lets face it, you're going to go with this set till the end with this size stack (m=7 preflop, which is VERY typical in early ante stages of a MTT online), and IMO, you're looking to double up here, not looking for Fold Equity. I like the line of: bet less than 1/2 the pot on the flop, then check the turn feigning weakness as if flop bet was a C-bet much better than the line of: Bet 2/3 -3/4 pot, then shove the rest on the turn or the line of slow playing it on the flop.What do you do when you hit a set in this situation? IMO, you have struck gold when you get top set... don't waste it trying to avoid being sucked out on.

BB has been known to push very mediocre hands preflop, so re-raising isn't out of the question here. Also, If I limp, raising is definitely not out of the question. Button has doubled then seen his stack shrivel away. CO got all his chips early and has been slightly increasing. I have raised 3x with AAxx and had to dump it 3x. Considering all that, been lucky enough to be in this situation after some timely double ups.Hopefully I have enough info here. Do we try to make this our stand?

[Play Pocket Jacks With Me]

I make the call, EP says "Your Aces are good sir" before I can even table my jacks. I grumble, curse, and leave and the rest of the board offers me no help to his KK. After thinking about this more and more, this player would not have reraised without AA or KK there. But, I remember him from another tourney up there and in that tourney he played very loose, limping in EP with not so great cards, and twice doubling me up with my short stack at that tourney.But what am I really ahead of? 8s 9s and AK or AQ of clubs. Nothing else plays this flop. I don't think he re-raises with 8s even to isolate. Thanks for the suggestions, hopefully I can take this knowledge and do something with it for next time.Actually, I did follow this advice after the same situation happened in an online 4.40, where there was a standard raise and a shove... pretty early, so I dumped the jacks and they were against AK and AA....so I got a positive result from dumping it so hopefully, it will stick with me.

[Ugh, Ak On Tjqjq Board]

even though you're getting the pot odds, I'd say you're pretty well screwed there. Considering you're at 10/20 blinds, you still have enough chips to work for a little while. Lay it down, and mope about it....

[Play Pocket Jacks With Me]

And the first hand that you misplayed was when you won with Tens full of aces on an A8TA5 board after you were raised on the river, and only called?

Make that third hand then. The guy really had me convinced he had A5.I took the announcement as a reverse tell. He's telling us that because he knows we already know this is the fourth hand in a row he's raised. He knows that we know that he knows... etc etc etc.. To me this was him showing strength, I guess I just took that as him being weak.So in this situation, Mucking the Jacks preflop makes sense?We're playing them "set it or forget it" and for 2k, there's no sense to even see the flop?EDIT: I've forgotten how much I missed this forum. I need to spend more time here. Thank you guys.

[Play Pocket Jacks With Me]

OK, so I'm out now of the turning stone 200+30 Deep Stack tournament. Fuddled through Making minimal amounts with decent hands.100/200/25 level. I have about 10.5k in chips (started with 10K). UTG Raised for the fourth time in a row (and announced that) to 650 (he has about 15k). EP makes it 2k to go (he has about 16k). I am in MP with JJ. I ask what the reraise is to give an "o rly?" and call. Folds behind me back to UTG who just calls.I was apparently pegged as an uber tight player (possibly because of an earlier hand where i won with Tens full of aces on an A8TA5 board after I was raised on the river, and only called. When I had shown aggression, people backed off. As I said, UTG raised for the 4th time in a row after folding for about one orbit. EP had won a very big pot a few hands ago vs AQ on a 69Q board with pocket sixes. He has played very standard, and won and lost some pots, and called me earlier on a rivered flush of mine where he showed no aggression.So the flop comes T 6 4 with two clubs. It checks to me and the pot is 6550:What would you do in this situation???? I bet out 3k. I have an overpair to the board. In most situations this is a strong hand.UTG folds, and EP raises all in. EP shoved all in earlier when he hit the 6s. He also shoved earlier on a 99477 board and was not called.I have about 5.5k left behind. There is now 12.5k in the pot.What do you do here???????Can I give the guy credit for a real reraising hand (AA,KK,QQ) because of the UTG raise? I am way too far behind those hands. Do I put him on AK? TT? Maybe even the other two jacks? AK of clubs sounds likely for a check raise here....I am behind pretty much everything in his range except AK of clubs, and even that I'm a coinflip at this point. Do I give up my overpair? Blinds go up in about 5 minutes to 150/300. These are the spots where if I make the correct decision, I start to bring my game to the next level. This is the second hand this week where i feel I totally misplayed it.Thoughts? Comments?

[Final Pca Mtt Satellite]

hi guys thanks for the responses.A) We are nowhere near tickets yet. 634 started, and there's 32 seats, and there are approximately 250 players left at this point.B) I do not wish to name any of the players here. I gave specific examples from the player in the CO to try to show the kinds of plays I'd seen shown down.C) I have re-raised only once, on what I intended to be only a steal from the Big Blind when I was shorter than average at 100/200 blinds (2 levels ago, approx 40 min). I had about 3k in chips, and there were 4 limpers in the pot. With AK I shoved in that spot and all folded.D) For this tournament, I was 14% VPIP, 6.90% PreFlop Raise, AF of 1.19 (0.80 Preflop, 1.75 Flop, 2.50 Turn, Inf river) over 174 hands. I'd say I was viewed as Tight Passive maybe? I check/called in some spots that were very big (J9 making two pair vs Kings). Most of my chips were made postflop without showdown.E) CO Villian's PokerTracker stats: 174 hands 28.16 VPIP, PF Raise 12.64, AF 0.91 (.69/1.09/1/3.50) Gobears, I was thinking along your lines there, that I don't want anybody to try to think this is a time for a squeeze play. This seems like a pot I can pick up. If I call the 1200, and CO still shoves, I can justify laying this down, but what if he just re-raises me the same way that the original raiser did.Again thanks for the discussion fellas this is helping me try to figure this out.

[Line Check]

I agree. Even though your opponent isn't going to think you'll hit the 89 there having the 567 on the board makes enough people aware that a straight draw is out there. So if you go for the c/r, you may just get checked through.I think a small bet out makes him pay it off. Pot's at $5 now, a $1.50 bet begs for a call.

[Rivered Straight On Paired Board.]

I would min. raise here

He's an unknown, so it's hard to say what his range is here but....I believe:He still calls with the the K in his hand if you min raise. He still calls if he's got TTHe definitely calls and probably won't raise with just any J. (I think JQ and JT are definite possibilities here.)If he's checking the turn to you its either because he's setting you up for a monster or because he feels his hand is semi strong.I think a Min-raise makes it possible to get away from a shove here, and extracts enough out so he doesn't feel threatened and thinks he has to call with mediocre holdings.I say min-raise for value, if he shoves, re-evaluate, but strongly consider fold.

[Top Pair & Flush Draw..]

OK, I'm going to say this and get flamed .... but I just never like the feel of a 3 to a flush flop and TPTK as much as I like the feel of a two to a flush flop and TPTK. Problem is that someone's hand could already be made against you.

But quite often, if somebody's betting, they don't have it, or it's a very weak FD that they may check/call down to aggression. Especially in this situation, where it's 6-max.I like raising here, but I wouldn't have shoved. I think a raise to 8 signifies to a good player you have a strong hand and are willing to commit yourself if need be, but don't feel the need to get it all in on the flop. Considering this is 6-max, you're probably ahead here 75% of the time. You either take it down or lets the Kd chase to hit where he's dead anyway.

[Two Hands, Two Obv Straights, Villian Moves All-in]

Two separate hands, two separate days. Wondering how the crew here plays them.Both of these are 1/2 NL (100MAX) at Turning Stone. I read both hands for obvious straights by the villiansHand A:EP Raise to 5, I'm in the BB with Ad2h and a stack of about $105. 5 people in the pot before me so I call. Flop comes down 3 4 5 rainbow. Girl to my right who's been betting out 'scare flops' bets 10, I raise to 40, the next two Fold and then All-in from the HJ for about 150.Things to think about:

• HJ has been super conservative, wouldn't even raise his Q high Flush when he hit it on the river because there was a paired board
• There's 120 already out there once he calls my 40, with my 65 behind I'll be getting about 3-1. my 65 more to win 185.
• Hands I've shown prior = 5h6h called an all in with MP+FD+backdoor straight.

Hand B:EP Raises to 11, I'm in MP with JsJh and a stack of about $300, I just call. SB and BB call behind. Flop comes down J Q K two clubs. Checks around to me, I bet out for 40. SB reluctantly calls for the rest of his short stack ($26), BB folds, EP pushes all-in for $104 on top of my $40.Things to think about:

• EP has shoved all-in like this twice before. Once Preflop with with no raise in front with QQ, Once on a flush draw on the flop
• There's 241 now in the pot, and it's $104 to me to call. Getting more than 2-1.
• Hands I've shown prior = AA 4th hand in, all-in preflop vs KT and AQ. JJ on a 9 6 3 2 Q (3spades) board, I bet the whole way, guy called off all his chips on the river and mucked.

Simo, I think I see what you're saying about 50%, and it really comes down to this:When I win, I make (approx) 3x my initial investment, so for it to be plus EV I need to be 33% to win, yes?Which then makes this a fairly easy call, even though more times than not, I'm going to get outdrawn. Zach, I wanted to have a serious discussion about this, because with 4 hands in ahead of me, the possibility of me getting outdrawn is very large. That's why I wanted to post this hand. I really don't think anybody is going to fold the nuts here. And yes, I made the post look weak/tight for a reason. I wanted to try to see this one from other angles, but apparently, that was a bad idea.It's oddball situations like this that make you think about the math though.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)MP1 (t2460)Hero (t1115)CO (t7840)Button (t1655)SB (t670)BB (t2665)UTG (t1275)UTG+1 (t6120)Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 5 , 5 . 2 folds, MP1 calls t50, Hero calls t50, CO calls t50, 1 fold, SB completes, BB checks.Flop: (t250) 3 , 3 , 2 (5 players)SB bets t50, BB calls t50, MP1 calls t50, Hero calls t50, CO calls t50.Baby bet here - It's 50 into a pot of 400. Call seems reasonable here? Yes/No? Re-Evaluate on the turn?Turn: (t500) 5 (5 players)SB bets t50, BB raises to t100, MP1 calls t100, Hero raises to t250, CO folds, SB calls t200, BB calls t150, MP1 calls t150.My little raise here is a 3-bet, but should be enough to keep people in the pot, yes? i am only behind pocket treys now and that seems a tad unlikely. An overpair can catch a 2-outer like I just did, but ... No need to shove, right? Want to let people catch up, but still build pot??River: (t1500) 2 (4 players)SB checks, BB bets t250, MP1 folds, Hero raises to t500, SB folds, BB raises to t800, Hero calls t265 (All-In).So now I lose to ducks and treys but still seems highly unlikely, yes??? I want to get all my money in this pot because the chances of me going against specifically 22 and/or 33 are highly unlikely, and this seemed to be the best way to do it.Final Pot: t3065Comments on ALL streets appreciated.

I may even be tying for this pot....What the hell?????Swear to you, craziest hand I've ever been involved in that wasn't a freeroll on stars.
