So I'm doing a review of all the Day 1 and also the Day 2 of this tournament and I'm seeing some interesting hands that I will post in the coming days. I would very much like your guys feedback on them.

Level 6 of the blinds:

UTG has only 25 hands played with this stats: VPIP 40, PFR 4, Limp 38, Cold Call (calls the open raise) 33, 3-bet 8 and post flop Agg 0

Also on the GGPoker stats he has a VPIP 51 * I'm seeing this as I review the hand in PokerCraft.

What I gather from this stats is that he is a passive player, but since he raise UTG I really think that he has a strong hand. So pre-flop this is the range that I put him on:

Pre-flop: Even though I'm in SB I decided to complete his range since post flop I really think that 76s has good playability.

Flop: Now this board hits me with bottom pair and his range also, but more my range then his...also I don't want to play a big pot so I decided to just check and call a bet from his part.

Turn: Now that Q hits him more then me and if he had AQ, AK, he got there with this turn so taking that into account I decided to check and if he bets again I will fold and move on.

River: That is a card that I like and also I don't like :D since is good for me but that complete a flush. Now, here, is where I think I made a mistake, when I decided to bet instead of check/calling just because I did not think that he would raise me there, for the simple fact that he checked back the turn. So in my eyes I bet for value here.

What would you guys/ladies do here?

* I will post the results later

Don't mind the call PF or on the flop as we grab a slice (others may disagree)

Leading river isn't great and puts us in a shit spot despite blinking 2 pair.

I'm check calling here all day long.

Caveat
- haven't played poker in 2 years so take my advice with a pinch of salt
- I also love 67s

Against a loose passive fish I would just fold right away. Especially out of postion. It's always hard to play 76s out of position against a tight range. You need to hit top pair+ or a decent draw to continue most flops. Now you have only bottom pair and based on the range you gave villain pre-flop you beat only AQ+. Also villains Cbets stats could be usefull.

Bet/fold river seems reasonable against a passive player. I think 800 is big enough. You wants to get value from AQ, AJ And KK+. Now villain raised you are beat. It makes no sense for villain to raise with 2 pair or a over pair.

Cheers,

Thank you all for the replies. I agree with all off you when you guys say that defending 76s from SB is a mistake, that was the first one, the second one is calling the flop hoping to improve and finally the most expensive one is betting/calling his raise on the river. :wtf:
