kinda standard but a spot i see myself getting into a lot in the early stages now. like im dumping half my stack before the tournament even begins.

nasty flop but i hate checking behind and defining my hand. i was curious if some of you would be playing this slower both before and after the flop being just 5 minutes into the tournament.

I don't see how both of these guys are ever both folding enough of their range on this board to cbet. It hit them too hard take the free turn theres like 30of them that vastily improve your hand.

cbet is definitely not that bad at all since 22/44-88 make up a huuuuuuge part of their range

flip a coin since the board is so dry

i think this hand is played totally standard on both streets

Lots of people will call this flop with middle pairs.

Don't C-bet this flop 3 way.

When I give people this advice I'm always reminded of the first episode of Seinfeld.

JERRY: Yeah, OK. Oh, wait a second. Oh, I, I forgot to clean the bathroom.

GEORGE: So what? That's good.

JERRY: Now, how could that be good?

GEORGE: Because filth is good...Whatta you think: rock stars have sponges and ammonia lyin' around the bathroom? They, they have a woman comin' over: "I've gotta tidy up? Yeah right, in these matters you never do what your instincts tell you. Always, ALWAYS do the opposite.

JERRY: And this is how you operate?

GEORGE: Yeah, I wish.

Preflop is perfect. I reraise here always.

As others said, don't cbet this flop into two players. I would generally fold to a decent sized bet on the turn if you don't improve. You are probably behind and there is no point in putting more money in.

In general, this is a flop I would rarely cbet in any situation.
