Basic MTT spots- A PHA diary

[Boba Fett]

Turn doesnt seem so ugly.  We still beat a lot and he might just be barrelling.  Your hand is pretty under-repped too with the call pre (which I like).  Id call

[Junior Senior]

3 bet pre. As played call turn re evaluate on river but prob check call most rivers

Well when I say ugly it's probs not a card I want to see. Think pair and straight draws make up a lot of his range when he leads flop so could now be losing to 2 pair hands

I think you have to call the turn here and make a decision on the river

No however I am thinking about getting one.

I have PT3 but it keeps crashing

[Killerkilsby]

George is it standard not to 3b here?

It's pretty standard to call pre ante Dan although I welcome thoughts on the call pre. Would you be 3 betting pre?

I actually have no standard line in these spots so thought id just query it.
I like the call for under-repping your hand but then its a tough spot on turn and river especially when he may perceive you as weak.
I mean when we have JJ a 10 high board is normally what we look for, but now its an awful spot.
3 betting pre means we are inflating a pot oop which would of meant playing for stacks on the turn. Just calling allows a chance to get away.
I think 8/10 i pop a 3 bet in to get the crap out and take the lead in the hand.
Hard to put him on a straight here but i think id of called turn. No stats on the guy makes it all abit harder would he make this play with 99 putting you on Ax? Who knows certainly an interesting hand.
Look forward to results

Rupert knows. He also knows I'm getting one

[outragous76]

Ug! If he just bet I'd fold

But jamming makes me wanna call really really badly *activates timebank*

[George2Loose]

OK What do we do in these two spots?

Thoughts on both hands. Hand 1 it obv looks like he's on a draw. I don't know if my sizing is too big or should bet betting smaller to snap a shove. I just wanted some value from my hand cos there's a ton of hands he flats again with. When he raises I wanna puke but again he's repping probably 2 hands?

Hand 2- this is the first hand of the tournament. Is it ever a bluff? Just a cooler.

U can probs guess I lost both hands. Honestly not 50p hands- just wanna check that I have to go broke/fold both hands. Interested in sizing thoughts for hand 1 also.

[sm00035]

Think in hand 1 bet bigger on flop, just so bet sizes will flow a bit more naturally through streets. As played absolutely hating life, especially as he has just raised and not gone all in, but I think when you take into account the (small amount) of times he has KJ/Kxdd or whatever other random hands he has decided to overcall with pre you have to just go with it.

Hand 2 i defo fold pre, but as played, play the same and sigh call river. Obviously his river bet is never a bluff but i think in a $15fo he can be potentially just be going ballist with A9/AJ etc.
