How can a flat possibly be bad when we can play for 2pairs, trips and straights and still be profitable? We are calling 900 into 5040 and the big blind will have an extremely good price at this point also. We don't just have to stack off on K/Q high boards, we can just call the flop and fold turns especially on dry boards because people don't barrel light in these tournaments.
3bing would also be fine although stack sizes are a little awkward. If we make it about 5k, we will have a nice low stack to pot ratio and people will have a hard time 4bing as a bluff so we can be fairly happy 3b/folding even though it is for a chunk of our stack. Again if we make top pair we really dont have to worry too much, people are likely to get AK in pre and AQ might fold or might shove as well. We really don't have to worry too much about being dominated with a spr of 3. If one of the players are particularly crazy then 3b/folding becomes worse, we pretty much have to fold but can definitely get shown worse sometimes and have good equity vs their range.
I'm never folding preflop, I think I 3b here and flat more at higher stakes. Jamming > folding too imo.
I always always jam in these spots in the storm/bigger11 etc
Fuck em!
Calling is probably going t be best though because we will be able to,play so well vs them as they will be very upfront with their bet sizes etc
Ha, two very different posts. Both are quite insightful.
I guess all options have some merit...
I decided to jam here as I hate it when I get one or several calls and am OOP and in a tough spot if I miss the flop.
