Trivial Fold?
Honeybadg:
Normally ...
AK I would check ...
3/4 ... yes I might do that ... or some weird mystical 999 bet
If only the first player shoves - then I call (I think) could be a great trap ... but I expect not.
I am much more bothered about the late position caller ... what is he flat calling with ... big favourites ... 77,88,99 or the gone TT maybe lower pairs ... but I hate checking and giving free cards ...
Given the very high BB ratios ... do you have any time for raising more ... MIGHT chase away the 88 ... might chase everyone away ...
Very like getting KK or AA very early in deep stack tournaments ...

George2Loose:
I actually raise less pre at this level lol
Make your raises standard- if you wanna 4* pre with KK you have to do the same with your weaker hands else people will know when u have a hand or not
Same with your c-bets- keep them standard else your giving away too much info about your hand
MAIR:
I would be 3 x BB raising utg.
With the 2 callers and a dangerous flop of 789 a smaller c-bet of, say, 3/4 of the pot as a feeler to see where I am.
With the 2 all ins I am folding, due to the possibility of one of them either already hitting the str8, a set or on a str8 or flush draw.
As George says, need to keep it pretty much standard on how you play weak and strong hands so that they don"t know what range of hands you are possibly raising or c-betting with.
Good fold anyhoo and how did you finish up?
Also, I was in a similar scenario with that flop in Walsall.
Both of us have approx 11k, him slightly more chips than I.
I have TJ on the BB, utg limps in, and I flat check. Flop comes down 789 giving me the str8. I check, he bets, i reraise over the top and then I cant recall exactly but I think he went all in there or he reraised again and I put the rest of my chips in.
He shows 77 for a set and I have the str8, 7 to J, turn comes an 8 and thats me out of the tournament.
Afterwards I gave it a great deal of thought, and maybe I shouldve just called his bet post flop rather than re-raising to see that turn card and then if the board hasnt paired, with only 1 card to go make an all in push, my thinking on this tho is there was no way he was folding his set.
What do you think on my play and what went down? Should I have raised pre, would it have made any difference to the outcome of the hand? Was I being over keen to call his all in?
Honeybadg:
... I finished 53rd of 380 with 40 paid ...
600/1200 ante 120 ... I have c14000 chips ...
Chip Leader limps UTG
I got all in with QQ ... happy for everyone to fold ... but
Chip leader calls with AK (sigh) .. flop AKJ ... no help ...
Not trying to limp to $300 ... annoying but standard exit.
WALSALL HAND
I would have checked as you did and then went all in after his raise ... hard to see anything but all the chips going in here though ...
Had he managed to fold his made set massive credit to both parties ...
EYES WIDE SHUT - aka The FRUIT MACHINE.
No third podium in a row for me ... about 35th of 87 ... when QJs goes needlessly over the top of my TT with others to act ... but wins the race.
Night off tonight - maybe???
Looking forward to the Sunday league match.
