MTT - Best line please?

[Royal Flush]

In T-Mar's example we are merely 5-handed and there is just 1 over-card...and we're not really sure how to proceed.

Correction, your not sure.

"There is no doubt in my mind that medium pairs play much better pre-flop than post-flop. Apart from the 1 in 8 where you actually flop a set you will be facing overcards in 7 out of 8 instances, making it almost impossible to know how to proceed."

Obviously it plays best pre but still plays good post.

I've not read the book but i am guessing he aint playing this shallow.

I'm happy with pre flop raise size - I had been raising 2.5x for last couple of levels and dont see a need to change that here tbh - I had 2 20bb stacks behind me, that are likely waiting for resteal opps, so want to give impression they have FE (obv I'm calling a shove pre).

I actually went for c/r ai on flop, thinking that Kx made up a small part of his range and I get an extra bet out of him when he has air, but maybe I could induce a shove by leading... Seems most of you would take that line

cheers for answers, something to think about

Preflop raise is awful imo, should have raised 2.55 or maybe 2.45. Defo not 2.5 though
