Good god I don't hate anything as much as a minraiser after someone has limped. Most pointles and most infuriating move ever. I like a check-raise on the flop. Villain could be making a move on you with high cards here. If you check-raise him you will be very certain where you are at in the hand, if he is still with you after you check-raise I thinking it would be time to release the hand, or play for a very cheap showdown.

You have to play TT a lot faster than that. I'd probably raise to 150 pre-flop. Post-flop, you're only behind to AA-JJ, so what are you worried about?

AA-JJ

[AceLuby]

What a weird hand, two min-raises???? This definitely looks like a donk playing AA or KK. I don't think you can call here, you either need to raise or fold. Raising anything other than AI cripples your stack. Tough situation where I would err on the side of pushing. Push 65% Fold 35%

I have terrible position in this hand; if I raise it up, I'm liable to end up playing a big pot, out of position, with a hand that is hugely vulnerable to overcards. As to what I'm worried about, I'm up against JJ-AA here a substantial portion of the time here, and if possible, I'd rather not get stacked when that happens.

[Davey]

Your hand was played fine. I fold after the flop raise. Without a good read Im folding here.

I believe it's too early in the tournament to think that he's bluff raising you. Folding now, save you the even more difficult decision of what to do on the turn. I think c/r might have been a better move on the flop and if called, then I might consider shutting down.

this is how people bust out on level 1. your limp is fine with TT utg here, and with no read im probably flipping a coin between folding and raising...ive seen 11 donks do this with ridiculous pp's and AK hands, but i also do not want to play a huge pot OOP when youre completely lost.

Go for the c/r, fold to any more betting.

As played, fold - you can't afford a re-raise that isn't all-in, and it's pretty clear with 2 mini-raises from an UTG+1 that you are likely behind.
