Hi. I am new to KO tournaments, so I wanna ask if that call is good or not? I played few of them and find oponents pushing quite wide because of bounty so I think that my TT is good enough. But anyway his push with over 40BB shows that he is strong. Basically what happend in my had was: "I have him covered well, he rais/pushing from CO so maybe he have enough of worse cards than my TT and there is a bounty. Oh his VPIP and PFR are 20 but I have only 5 hands with him.

Hello mylove190207 ,

Villain got less chips than us so he can't be pushing wide for a bounty.
Just call preflop without observations for villain. We are not calling just for set but to play the hand post flop.
After we 3-bet and put so big part of villains stack we can't fold. We can't know his exact range and with the bounty we are forced to call. I'm not happy to do it because we are putting our self against stronger range. So just call pre to not put our self in such a situations.

Guys if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write in this thread by clicking the button or

Best regards,
Antoan :pokerface:

Its a KO, but take your time. TT is not so good for this hand. I go with QQ+.
Just call and play post flop out of position. If no goods cards for you, just fold.
