Think pre and every street is debatable.

SB is marked as a calling station, not seen opening raiser before and its very early so no other info.

Will post my thoughts later, interested in whether people think we should just bet call off on the turn.

dwh103:
Pre"s fine, vs some I 3bet, but flat a lot too. I don"t play these, but it feels a flatting spot against what I"d expect the average villains to be. No need to be getting too funky.

So I hate the flop. More so if Villain is unknown. Just fold and move on - what are you hoping to achieve? He may not even fold AQ with your raise sizing.

Turn as played is interesting, would want to have a proper think about it. Feels quite close between a bet or check. As for the river, you"ve basically built a pot worth winning, out of position, with complete air, and even to the most basic of players a bluff just doesn"t have any credibility. Might work, but marginal at best.

mporter123:
Just re-read the board, was attempting to rep Q10 on the end thinking it had just made the straight but didn"t realise the straight was already out there. Silly mistake as obviously would never check Q10 on the turn so, your right, the bluff makes no sense. Still might get folds from some one pair hands though?

I don"t tend to battle for pots like this early on but when he sizes it so small into 3 guys on the flop, its never a nutted hand. I think the turn is a bet, call off.

AAroddersAA:
Fold pre.

Early on just play very very tight in these things. AT OOP is a marginal hand anyway and it is unlikely to be profitable to play it.

Fold the flop. I don"t see what we ever gain by trying to win this pot here, the chips we lose are far more valuable than the chips we win and our stack size remains about the same anyway.

Bet/Call off on the turn I suppose, as we have now created the situation we have to play it. We should never be in this situation though in one of these. Until at least the 50/100 level we should be playing super tight ABC poker. AT and AJ are folds from the BB in this spot. Personally I fold AQ as well, although that might not be exactly right.

wizzlet:
Previous posts are spot on, calling in bb with ATs is a leak in these tournies, and tricky to play post flop too. I also bin AQo here because of its small gain or potentially big loss implications. Better to not dribble away chips and keep a good stack for later.
