Re: Help a tournament newbie out...
So often in these low stakes multi way pots, especially early on, there will be a donk that bets the minimum with any kind of pair or draw, and everyone behind him calls.
I'd get greedy and check/push if this table has shown the tendency to do that. |

Re: Help a tournament newbie out...
I'll echo that you played the hand fine. My basic strategy 99 is a limp utg, but a raise pf isn't horrible. After the flop shoving is your only viable option. 3/4 of the deck is scary on the turn and any bet leaves you pot committed.

1) I like the idea of betting about half the pot as an information probe, but I don't think that would work this early in the tournament... my low-level limit cash game experience is that people will call 2 or 3 raises on a flush draw. Would 1/3 to 1/4 of their stack really be enough to make most of them fold? 2) This was at worst a marginally questionable play, and at best, the right thing to do. Maybe I'm not quite as stupid at this as I think. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Thanks all. [/ QUOTE ] It was a well thought out play. That said, you don't want to make any bet here that won't maximize fold equity. That's why the jam is the best play. |
