No reads on villain. My thinking here was most people playing this tourney are huge donks and idiots so only someone with a decent amount of poker knowledge makes this move.

After playin the hand I think I should've checked the flop, as I would've gotten way more info. what do you think?

[diditmyway]

just intrested what info you gain by checking the flop? (im noob so just curious)

edit: i limp and play for setvalue here.

[Fiksdal]

Dude, what hand are you putting button on here?

JJ+ re-raises preflop.

A queen is possible, but very unlikely. A lot of villains would just call with it here.

TT is plausible.

[wackybrak]

I put him on a Q i guess, Like KQ, JQ. as unlikely as that is. Like I said, no reads on villain, so I didn't want to make the call here and basically commit my whole stack with no reads.

[AragornX151]

It's REALLY rare to see quads raise the flop, unless there's a read involved. I'd call here. It's a textbook flop for weak to medium players to raise, figuring it "couldn't" have hit the better.

[DiscipleAA]

Ya I am like 100% sure you folded the best hand here, I am not even sure TTs are all that plausible (he could play any PP, 22-JJ, for Set potential I suppose and then just decide to Attempt to take this one down, but that is all, you are beat by T's and J's here MAYBE) No Way Quads bets this unless he is either a VERY VERY good player or a VERY VERY bad player and you certainly dont have that read either way... So just play this staight forward as if he was any regular donk and push to his re-raise... you cant smooth call this and let him draw to his possible overs...

This is a no brainer, he raises, you push all in. You have to be ahead about 95% of the time.

Oh God

Yeah you're probably ahead, people love to bluff and slowplay in these and they probably think ace high is the nuts here
