1. I 2.5x at 50-100 59s from the CO. Old man makes it 500 straight with 3700 behind. I? Flop 5d9hAc. Old man fires 800. How do I proceed?

2. i'm in the BB with Jc8c. limped pot 4 to flop, Flop Js5s7c. Small blind pretty spewy leads out 300 at 400. I call. Turn 6c. He bets 800 with about 3700 behind (lol spewing donks with 50bb already in level 2) What do I do?

3. Stacks are hazy here. 75-150, approx 120bb deep. I raise K5s in the CO to 400. The button is an extremely large gentleman, who has been playing pretty well. a couple times I have tried to isolate weak limpers and obv he re-resqueezed from the button. He also has chipped up nicely and definitely knows how to value bet. Anyways Flop Ts3s4h. I bet 700 at 1200 and he throws out two 2k chips, other player folds I call. Turn 6x c/c. River 8s. I fire out like 5 or 6 blue chips and he thinks for a little and throws out a stack of his blues (putting me all in)

Besides killing myself? what do i do? I know live players love to just call rivers, and vs an old guy this might be a snap fold amirite? However, this guy understood position, bluffed river once, and I already was shown 3barreling a 4h on a As2s4s flop and some younger guy claimed to fold the 3rd nuts? lolz. Whatever...Thoughts?

Depends on whether double your raise size is his normal reraise amount, and how often he cbets. Discussion cannot really be done here as it depends on factors that only you can pickup at the table. Also, folding pre vs him is not a bad play even if you have his range as solely AA, since he will bet/shove any board, so you only get to see three cards, and you don't pickup enough equity vs AA to make it worth it (also, survival value has an effect, esp in a liveament like this)

Hand two you should call only because a spewy donk cannot fold his QJ or any other one pair hand that you want to semibluff off. If he has a pair smaller than jack, alot of good cards for you also make second best hands for him and he will move in on the river with them. If he bets again and you don't improve you can fold.

Hand three, if I got the action right, he checkraised you on the river? If he checkraised, this is close but still probably a call. If he is a thinking player he expects you to auto bet the flop and bet most rivers without a flush for value, this can easily be a bluff. I don't really see how he would choose CR-river line with a flush.

Then again I am a total fish and one of the worst MTT players ever (your words) so just do the opposite here.

2. You sure I can't get a better J to fold sometimes? He is spewy but you know tourney life 5k donkament?

I didn't see the spade draw that he could very easily have.. its probably a shove now
