I don't know how to put the stack sizes (so help ?).

Okay I just can't fold TT UTG.. I think if I raise it I will play in a pretty big pot OOP, so I tend to just limp to see how the action evolve. I will fold if someone raise strong.

Min raise by the chipleader, I have nearly 12K, I call, I don't think he has a high pocket, I see him on a medium PP or AJ+.

Here come the flop with only 1 high card, If I decide to go allin I like to check raise allin. I didn't see him on a jack, I think he will call with 22-TT and AQ+ (for hands I beat).

What do you think about my play and my raisonning ? (you can corrige my english if you want :P)

I have many difficulties to play my pocket pairs when blinds gets big. When I am early or when I have to cbet when there is one or 2 overcards etc..

I think stacks are pretty important here.

Under the box that you put in your HH, there should be some "Settings."
Make sure the output format is 2+2. And then there is some boxes for "Show Stacks." Click all that apply. Redo, fix your post, and we can help better.

You need to set the converter to show stacks for ring games, because it gets confused by Crypto.

What's the buyin? Is this one of the ten minute levels with a guaranteed prize pool?

[Antoine]

It was a 2£ regular tournament, 10 min level up, 120 players, it is final table.

To be honest, given the speed of the levels, the fact you can train monkeys to play better poker than most £20 MTT players on Crypto (let alone £2 players) and the huge blinds/antes compared to weeny stacks you get at FT, I'd just shove TT UTG there. You'll get called by lots of worse hands, limp/calling sucks and raise folding is not really an option.

They are pretty tough tables to play well. Your M is less than 5 and I guess you'll have been one of the larger stacks. It's just a crapshoot. So I just tend to shove anything big/pretty, unless I have the biggest stack, and not piss about with flops.

what do you call this?

I don't understand. The blinds were $100/$100, you limped, and someone made it 16x? Makes no sense.

You should raise or shove preflop, too, not this limp/call minraise weak sauce [censored]

I'm pretty sure the BB is 800 here. Ante is 100. So there's like 2200 or so in the pot before we start.

[Antoine]

Yes it was 400/800, ante 100. It was a min raise.

Open shove preflop
If you limp in, shove over the minraise
You played this pretty badly preflop
