Just started playing some MTTs in addition to usual mized game cash grind.

Maybe an interesting spot? Good 3barrell? What do we think of sizings?

Villain is opening every pot and then plays pretty straight forward post flop. In only hand of note vs me, I open JJ in EMP and he calls from BB. Flop T74dd. He check raises me and then I completely 3b overjam and he snaps off with KT. Turn is a T, obv, nice life etc.

Pre Flop: (t300) Hero is BTN with Q♥ J♥

Flop: (t1112) 3♣ 6♥ 4♦ (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP1 bets t467, Hero raises to t1080, SB folds, BB folds, MP1 calls t613

Turn: (t3272) K♦ (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets t1465, MP1 calls t1465

River: (t6202) 3♠ (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets t4430 all in
Thoughts?

(I think I'm repping all possible sets and pairs up to JJ, btw)

Don't even like starting to make moves on this board. You don't really rep all that much tbf imo - since you would likely raise more on the flop with your stronger hands.

Barreling the K is ok - but again betsizing is wishywashy - I likely bet 2k, and give up if he calls - but by betting more you feign more strength and force him to make a decision of calldown or fold on the turn.

I guess as played I probably shove river too - but to be perfectly honest I don't even like the flop raise - there's really no need to bluff in a $8 mtt people are just so bad and don't fold enough - ok maybe you can bluff more in later game but not at t60/120.

Oh and since he's opening every pot with this minraisy sizing I'd probably expect him to be a (bad)reg ---> he thinks of history a little ---> thinks you are tilting vs him ---> calls down lighter.

you didnt re-raise pre-flop, so I would actually remove most of pairs out of your range :)
LAG chipleader range can be 23s+, 22+, JT+, so you are on mine field, if you dont hit flop.

Not very happy about raise on flop - what would you do if he 3-bets you all in? He could do that with any pair+gutshot or better. So, personally Id just fold. If you must play, then float and hope for hitting pair or another :heart: on turn.

With turn I agree with amplifyd - bet 60-70% and give up if he calls.

River - you might have some fold equity, repping a boat or strong king, but he will likely not fold any real hand. So, considering that your remaining stack is 30+ BB, check and hope he has 58 or JT :diamond:. No reason to risk entire tournament here.


thanks for the replies guys, I asked around the office as well and got the responses like:

"zomg. fish!" and "hands like this should really cure your fancy play syndrome!"

just to check I wasn't being levelled though, I thought I'd ask here and get some advice from the pros!
