Tilt 32k: SCs 3way
 

OK, preflop might be bad. With 50bbs I maybe I should just be open folding this, but I don't think it's horrible. As played, how do we handle this spot? I checked the flop with the plan of c/ring, but I'd love to hear what you guys would do.

Once it's been checked through, what do we do with this turn?

I have played many sng hands with BB (at which he is a winning player) but hardly any mtts. His db tells me he hasn't played many mtts on FTP. He seems to be decent - a thinking player at least - who is capable of playing a wider range preflop than your avg HOH unknown. He open raised T4s UTG in the second level.

why are you not betting this flop?
This is a great flop to bet. Check turn if called.

QFT. If you're going to raise this PF, ensuring that your SPR is in the 8-12 range if you don't steal the blinds, you can't let semi-bluffing opportunities pass you by. You flop a made hand far too rarely to not do so.

With these stacks I much prefer a limp or min-raise PF, and then only if the table has allowed &lt;standard bets to make it around unraised.

Id rather fold PF then check a flop like this.

I like the flop check. Now call, def don't raise. Your straight outs have a lot of deceptive value, and I don't think you're going to win it often enough w/ a raise to make raising &gt; calling.

I think the flop is fine. Call the turn, if you hit the straight your hand is very well disguised.
