Fun w/ TT

[The Dude]

Bellagio 30-60 game. 7 or 8 handed.

First villain is Mason Malmuth. I don't think he recognizes me specifically as a 2+2er (I met him once a long time ago), but I'm sure he thinks I'm a product of the Internet, as we've been shorthanded and I've raised more than my fair share since he sat. MP is a young Asian kid who certainly grew up playing online, and is very comfortable shorthanded and aggro, but also isn't a LAGtard.

Preflop:
Mason opens, MP 3bets next to act 3 off the button (lowjack?). Folded to The Dude in the SB w/ T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. The Dude 4-bets, Mason calls, Asian calls.

No. This would make alot more sense if Mason had been CO and asian kid BTN. As is I don't like it.

I agree a muck PF is a strong consideration.

We all know if he's cold-calling two more with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] OOP (well, at least in position to the 3-bettor), he's certainly not folding this relative gem of a hand either.

This gets my vote. Hand over.

It feels like betting the turn would result in being raised like most of the time.

[Moneyball16]

Doesnt the fact that kickers dont play on this board make a raise less likely? Id still just c/f though.

[Yads]

I'd fire again. We're risking 1 BB for a 8 BB pot. There's a good enough chance the other players have smaller pocket pairs that I am betting planning on folding to a raise and check folding if I am called.

C/F the turn. What are you ahead of? You're also not going to bully two people off their hands here.

Also, fold preflop. You're OOP with a very tough hand to play postflop that's often behind to begin with.
