A8o BvB FTP $33
 

FTP $30+$3
154 started, 32 remain, 18 paid, were fresh off the 2nd break

I have somewhat of a loose image, since I have shown a couple bluffs to the table, and sucked out when I squeezed with a marginal hand about 45 mins earlier.

Villain has not been out of line in any way but I have no numbers or anything.

Discuss my line, and suggest a new line if this is bad.

weird hand. Why is he flatting you on that flop, and with what? I really really slow down on the turn.

It's hard to tell if you should bet half the pot with 1/2 your stack in the pot. Beautiful turn, weird min-raise, get it in as played.

It looks to me like he played 66/33 more than Ax, or Ace Face.

I'm sticking that he had 33 here and as played, it's fine imo.

Re: A8o BvB FTP $33
 

I dunno. I would call on the flop with say AT, thinking its good, looking to bet the turn for a steal attempt if its checked to me. so as played its a great turn for you so theres no turning back now. just hope he doesnt have 66 or 33. about the only hand that I would be worried about.

I don't mind pf and flop...I'd slow down on the turn and check/call depending on size of the bet..however if you're calling most turn bets than you're going to be pretty well committed on the river

Re: A8o BvB FTP $33
 

PF and flop are fine. On the turn it looks like you are beat because villain called all the way and isn't scared by the ace. Seems like 2 pair.

Anyway, having invested so much in the pot in a BvB hand, I don't think I can fold top pair getting those odds. Go for the suckout and fire up another tourney because villain beat your A8 with A6

Re: A8o BvB FTP $33
 

I probably check shove turn to get value if he floated u on the flop. It would be easier if u had a psb on the turn. I usually raise to 1500 pre which gives u a larger cbet and makes shoving the turn standard instead of betting half your stack and committing yourself anyway.
