QQ medium deep into the tourney
I was tempted to go all in, but this is the highest I've been in a tourney and chickened out [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Open-raise should be bigger, 800-900 or so. You aren't scaring too many people out with that raise with those large stack sizes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: QQ medium deep into the tourney
we all hate these spots, but i'd say easy call.
not that it necessarily gets you out of the tough spot, but larger raise pre-flop. make them pay and min-raise can look suspicious. yes, they could all fold, but that's marginally o.k. too. curious as to what villain had.... easy to get paranoid and assume a set, but there's a flush draw on board. curious if others agree..... if you were a little deeper, then i could maybe fold. (i fight the "seeing monsters" all the time) |

Re: QQ medium deep into the tourney
sorry when i said "depth of stacks", i was thinking of villain's stack size... although i now see that the BB (i think BB??) is still around and has a stack almost as large as yours. a bit disconcerting that he bet out.

Re: QQ medium deep into the tourney
As already said, raise more PF and you're most likely ahead on the flop though villain could've easily called your minraise with a low pocket pair and flopped a set. Most of the time it's a call in this spot though.

Re: QQ medium deep into the tourney
The only thing bothering me here is BB. However, in most cases, I will simply move in here. The hands that beat
us are AA, KK, 77, 55, 33 and some stupid two pair hand (that should not be here if there was a proper pf raise, oh and also 64 which should have folded to a bigger pf raise). The hands we beat are all flush and straight draws, and 88-JJ, 66 and 44. It would be nice to have reads but reads are tougher with a min-raise pf. In general, lots of players will play like this with a nut flush draw or a pair like 99 and sometimes even A7 and even the odd AK. For online tourneys, I call this most of the time and if it doesn't work out, I start another. If you want to get really deep in MTTs call hands like this and build a monster stack. |
