Tptk In A Family Pot

[YBravo 0]

This is from the $10+1 Midnight Madness tourney on Full Tilt. I don't have much of a read on UTG, but MP1 has been pretty tight so far, and has folded multiple times post-flop to little pressure.

Raise pfRaise pfRaise pfAs played I fold. There's no shame in going bust with TPTK in this type of tourney when the pot is raised - often the pot's big enough so that you're getting it all in against much weaker hands. But as played you can only pray that a tight player's overvaluing QJ or is pushing an 87 draw.

I think Trystero is being generous. There is no "as played". Raise pf.

Raising preflop is better, but limping isn't too bad.

I probably raise pf but your stack is deep enough where I don't mind a limp.As played, I call. I think that a set just cold calls you and lets you push in on the turn since there are no flush draws on that board. Two pair is a possibility but I see 78 and 10J or a weaker queen also out there.

I don't see him with Q9, Q6, or 6-9, so I'm pretty much ruling out two pair. 6-6 and 9-9 are certainly possible, but so are 7-8, 10-j, k-q, q-j. I just think you're getting too good a price to fold. Plus you got the backdoor flush.

Hmmm, I guess you should raise pre flop in this specific situation but in general I prefer to limp in EP (playing a raised pot oop is often very difficult, esp with a mediocre hand like AQ).As played, I probs call. It's a $10 MTT so villain's range is pretty wide I guess.

I agree that can be tricky, but you're not necessarily out of position if you raise here. I was a bit glib before. I don't understand the mentality of limping here, so I would never do it. As played, we have under-represented our hand, and I feel we really need to call. If the limp was playing for flush/straight value, then maybe we can find a fold here, but I think we're ahead of most of villain's range.

It is AQs...making it a lot less mediocre.

It's fairly close but I'd fold. I dont see him having a draw often enough to justify a call.Ultimately, if you never get bluffed off a hand then you're calling too much.

I just meant that AQ suited isn't that much better than AQ off preflop. That's what I heard anyway.. From some guy.

Oh...well, that's why I said a little less mediocre...a little over 1% less.

Yeah me too. That's what we said.

I think that a set just cold calls you

man u must **** gold, cuz u make super dee duper posts. seriouslytop 2 is more likely than set IMO, and explains the push, i'd be worried about top 2, but i think between the times u suck out and the times ur already ahead make this call +EV
