Re: My analysis.

At the time, he seemed like a thinking player (at least more so than anyone else at the table). Would you just call or would you go all-in?

Re: My analysis.

Pot would be T1300. If we assume his bet in this situation is proportional to his bet in the actual hand, then he bets between T800-T1000.

I've got T4500 left, I would most probably raise to...

My analysis.

Interesting, so far two heavy posters recommend totally different tactics. This is good, as it reenforces the marginal nature of the situation.

My obvious dilemma is, either he is bluffing...

Live tourney JJ hu vs. the big stack stop-n-go.

Re: I need a better plan for my local live tourney.

I like this line.

I've seen many players make bad folds getting 3:1 or 4:1 preflop pot odds when all of their chips are on the line.

Thanks,

1) "...win more small pots early on ..." This would entail loosening up considerablely preflop in the early rounds. Ideally in position, with literally any two...

Re: Live tournament, short stack hand.

Yah, I pushed the flop. Only UTG called. He showed pocket Queens, I did not improve.

I figured getting 11:1 preflop and closing the action made the preflop call automatic, given the coordination...

Live overpair. call or fold?

Local $55 buy-in tourney. I don't know anyone, but they generally seem weak-tight.

We all start with T5000 25/50 blinds. I've made a few plays, won 5 pots with one showdown where I had bottom set....

Re: KK UTG with Raise and Cold Call Behind Me on flop

Good fold. You took the shot with a continuation bet and now you know your hand is either a) no good, or b) at best about even money. BB's flop call worries me more than the raise from CO.

Re: $11 sng turn Question

Why? Cause Med PP are drawing hands and you want to see a cheap flop? or should a raise be more?

Re: $11 sng turn Question

Sweetening the pot is all my preflop raise is meant to accomplish. Post flop I can easily get away from this hand if I'm raised.

On the other hand...

...being that the BB is the big stack, the blinds are so hi, and the short stack is what it is...how about just fold?
the goal being 1) make it to the money, 2) play for first. In that order.
