History of this tournament: This is a private tournament just for Romanian players. GGPoker gives you a ticket to a weekly $20 tournament if you deposit $20 into your account. This tournament is played every Sunday Night and has unlimited re-entry, but it is CAP at 5000 players, the GTD used to be $10 000 but since they give away $20 tickets, that GTD prize was always exceeded , so starting this year GGPoker made it $50 000 GTD, even like this the GTD is exceeded, so it's mad value to play this tournament, especially if they give you a ticket....like I do. :f_cool:

The field is full with crazy people who do not know how to play, make crazy plays it's pretty much a lottery :f_drink: but if you play it for free is fun, and the top prize is at least $8000, so is mad value.

I only have history of 90 hands with the UTG and here are his stats: VPIP 27 PFR 12 Limp 18 Cold Call 12 3-bet 0 Post Flop AGG 2.60 Flop C-bet 57 * I do not see this stats on GGPoker platform

How would you play this hand?

Interesting spot on the flop. I would mot likely raise smaller. 3x seems better. It looks like you raising pot or so.
As played you get really nice odds to call, but decent change you are up against a better flush. Especially the UTG player should have you beat with at least a K♥:. Off course with blocking KJs and KTs there aren't to many reasonable combo's except K♥:Q♥:. Also it's interesting if the UTG taked his/her time with the decision or called right away. If it was a quick call it would be a easy fold for sure.

Fold pre is also not bad, esp. when this people are super horrible players, they raise premiums only etc and limp others, you can wait for more profitable spot and jam JJ+ and fold all other hands. Call is slightly +EV i think but the stacks are not that deep imo to risk the whole tournament life as you might not have enough edge postflop vs UTG with shallow stacks.

He took a little bit of time to think but the only one that really took his time was me :f_grin: I was thinking that some of them might have a flush.

Change 1 of them had a flush is huge for sure. If it wasn't the case they would take a lot of time to think of shoving or calling the shove. Off course I thing only the UTG player will beat you in spots like this I think, but it's almost a post-flop cooler after calling pre-flop.
