[Closed] $4,40 180person MTT: TT at 7T7 Flop

hmm I like raising preflop instead of open limping from utg because well TT is a nice hand.

flop is fine, turn I think I'm shoving instead of call and shove any river because he is probably calling an ace there, also a draw because of good odds. if he had a 7 the money was going all in anyway so no problem there.

Raising TT from UTG seemed too loose for me, I guess... Is this really ok to make such a move? I don't think TT is that strong...

I only called the turn for the small possibility that he needs more cards for maybe a straight draw with 89 or a flush draw.
If he holds an ace, it won't make a difference, but for semi bluffs, I increase the possibility for getting payed out.

well raising TT is not -ev on a full ring cash game so it can't be too bad to raise here ;). also that the stack is not that deep to be playing limp/call preflop for set value.

i would also raise TT here even from UTG.
your stack is not that big so you have to take the good hands to make some chips
TT is a very good hand heads up but in a multiway pot you have to hit your set.
so raise it up to 150 or 200 and see what happens.

as played i would check the flop too.
i would bet the turn then but would go all in after his reraise, because if he is on some kind of draw he will call your all in on the turn, and fold his hand on the river if he doesnt hit his draw, so go all in on the turn.
if he has an ace he will call perhaps you if he has a 7 he will call you and if he has a flush draw he will call you.
so you just lose some value if he has a draw and doesnt hit on the river.
against an ace, the call MIGHT be better but i think he will be comitted if he has an ace and will call you on the turn.
