[Closed] TT early 3-way 25+2

you wanted too much here. i do not like the flop play since there is a draw out there and you could give a free card to two players. also shortys pre 3bet indicates a strong hand (possible overpair, but two figures at least), and the board is not likely to have helped you. so i will make a small bet on this flop and wait for the push.
as played, you were lucky enough to get a bet. now shorty is totally pot commited, and also this bet was small enough to mean he does not want to scare you away but would be happy to call your push (possible overpair again).
on the turn you were just unlucky that he gave up. very bad play from the shorty imo.

i dunno... i find that in this spot, shortstack shoves in position something like 90% of the time on this limit...

with the flop play, like i said... i wanted to induce a call from the third player.

I would bet the turn. You're starting too late in extracting value.

i dont think you should induce a call here. third player can't call without a draw and you give implied odds for that. if he did hit a lower set then he will attack anyway. (maybe even with tptk)

The level in question is a bit high for me at least as far as BRM goes, but I'll make a general comment anyways.

I think the cliché "You can't win a tournament until the end" applies here, and as FishermansFriend suggested, I'd go for a straightforward approach. C-r on the flop might be a line I'd use occasionally, and this situation seems good enough since CO is so short I'd expect him to shove the flop regularly. This time CO's bet is just plain silly, and you need to raise to gain control of the pot. In my opinion MP1 has no possible hands you would WANT to induce a call from, unless the player in question is a complete moron. Otherwise MP1 must realize that the hand will go to a showdown almost 100% of the time and will only make the call with a strong draw. Any made hand the CO might want to participate with would need to be worthy of a c-r (he checked in front), and as FishermansFriend pointed out, your raise is not going to make much difference to him. If played as it was, I'd simply put CO all-in on the turn since he should be committed by now and is likely to realize he can't push you off your hand with the few chips he has left.

My thinking might be terminally tainted by playing too much turbo sngs tho, lol.

Good luck to you in the future!
