Live tournament - £150 buy-in - 70 runners

150/300 level - nine-handed tables

I've been fairly tight so far, but managed to accummulate 25K, and the average is 14K (about 50 still in).

Folded to the hero who is UTG+2 with 

Make a standard-sized raise to 900.  Sound OK so far?

Nitty sort of player in mid-position hasn't played a hand for a while, decides to raise to 3,000.  He has a similar stack to me.

It's folded back round to me...

Huh?

Will post more in a bit.

If there is any truth in these statements you really should fold unless your opponent is known for muttering "thank you god, thank you very fking much" when he holds AK and the flop is 8 high.

No antes. 

It's also not me playing the hand...just one I've observed.  So don't let me influence your advice  Wink

I fold, a nitty live player 3 bets an Ep raise from mp, are we ever ahead? We aren't deep enough to set mine properly imo, therefore fold.

Regarding the pre-flop raise.

Would it be right to vary your play here from raising pre (to whatever amount) and flat calling?

So with the pre-flop raise and the subsequent 3-bet to 3K - we're always folding here (to a tight player)?

What about a player we have no reads on, and a player we know is LAG?

Why would you even ask this!
Limp pre?
Why would we ever do this?
