I think I would shove flop into an unknown villain.

Do you play enough to know he's not a regular?

Re: 27t: TPTK vs reraiser
 

I only moved up to 27s recently so I don't know, though he wasn't on any of my 10+ other tables for what its worth

Re: 27t: TPTK vs reraiser
 

Ok as played I think I would shove.

And the decision as to what to do becomes close depending on who the player is, I think.

I like a shove.

If you were thinking about check shoving there anyway, you could try leading that flop againts unknown just to feel him out. In a sense that if you were going to make an all in bet (check/shove), you would call one if he shoves on you anyway.

Might not be the best option, but something to think about.

Re: 27t: TPTK vs reraiser
 

are you just sort of hoping he has KQ or he folds? I understand that I have top pair but you haven't thought at all about what villain might hold.

Re: 27t: TPTK vs reraiser
 

the only valid reason to check this flop is to CRAI. villain could have AdXd, random SCs, QQ, AJ,KQ,KT in addition to JJ,KK,AA. if you're even going to consider folding this flop vs an unknown then fold preflop.

Re: 27t: TPTK vs reraiser
 

Well I don't have too much information.

So for all I know, he could have AA-JJ, but at the same time AJ, KQ or even AK.

KQ is actually probably unlikley.

Use sharkscope man.

Gee, I dunno, I havent played a SnG in maybe 3 weeks. Hope someone could chime in here.

Re: 27t: TPTK vs reraiser
 

so would you lead flop or would you CRAI?

don't you think putting KT in his range is a little optimistic?

Re: 27t: TPTK vs reraiser
 

I fold to the PFRR.

Re: 27t: TPTK vs reraiser
 

I feel we have to be (even though its unlikely) becuase we don't know who the villian is.

Use sharkscope.

I think you can do both lead or c/r. Id rather get in first on flop though.
