Default 1st hand of a tournament.

100$ buy-in 500 person MTT. The structure is a little quicker than the majority of online tournaments. Blind are 10/20 and we start with 1500.
I am on the dealer chip and am dealt 66.

CO+1 min raises to 40.
CO calls.
Hero calls.
SB calls.
BB calls.

Flop: [6h,7h,4c]
SB bets 40.
BB folds.
CO+1 raises to 140.
CO calls 140.
Hero ???

How should I proceed here?

well I re-popped it to 360 and CO+1 pushed all-in and both me and CO called. CO+1 had AA and CO+1 had 53. I didn't improve.

I was just thinking that if I had flat called I probably wouldn't have felted because the 5h came down on the turn, but thats probably just results-based thinking.

At least I didn't run into 77, I sort of thought CO+1 might have that hand, but no just AA.

Hurts when you have a cooler for all your chips the 1st hand of a tourney :P.

with everyone limping pre-flop, anyone could have anything. 58, heart draw, 35, two pair. You've got a set but it's no where near the nuts. You have no idea where you are and you've seen a bet and a rbig raise anda call in front of you. If you're behind to a str8 or if someone makes a flush, you've got 7 outs to make FH or quads.

I hope I would fold. second choice is call and fold to a push. third choice is to raise to 400. I would not push blindly into this mess.

rofl @ you


Folding mid set in a multi with no reads on a drawy ass board is straight shenannigans. Yeah they could have alot of hands, hands like 88, 67, A7, random hearts, 55, JJ, on and on and on. Whats the point of learning about hand ranges and equity when you're just going to assume they have whatever hand beats you? AA on an A55 flop oh noez they have 55 c/c time, quit being so gahdamn rediculous.


Oh and it was a raised pot

[/ QUOTE ]Wrong. If you don't make your hand on the turn then you pick up 3 more outs.

I fold a set on this board approximatly 0% of the time.

This is awful - raise and call a push or just push yourself, either way seems fine. I kinda like a push because a lot of players will read you for a flush draw.
