Default Re: 109 20k guaranteed, what to do on turn?

Anything that you do that will let a good player drastically reduce your range is bad. Most people in tournaments do not do peculiar things without a ridiculously strong hand. In cash games it's usually either a really strong hand or really weak hand, but in tournaments it's usually just strength because people are so terrified of losing big pots.

So when he LRRs with the nuts preflop, you should be mucking almost everything. If he does it with ONLY AA then it's a terrible terrible play because he's turning his hand faceup. You should only do this if your range is super wide for doing so, and it shouldn't because it barely ever works and puts you in some terrible situations after the flop when it just gets people limping, which is what happens when you play low stakes and live tournaments.

If you make it so that there are only a few ways you'll play pretty much any hand, you make yourself basically unreadable. Most of the play I do is very boring, because I'll take 3-4 lines with basically any hand and it makes playing against me high variance and in a lot of spots, -EV.
