Tough spot, FT stars $8r

[jbird]

Hey guys, I don't post in this forum much as I'm mostly a cashgame player, but I have been playing more MTTs recently.

This came up at the final table of the $8r $10k guaranteed on stars yesterday. We are six handed, but 6th pays like $1k and 1st pays $6k. The last time sb limped my bb (NOT this guy, he was eliminated last orbit) I instapushed. This guy may have been smart enough to remember that, but cannot say for sure....

also, converter missed antes so pot is actually t92k

So you bet 80K into a 92K pot with position and a little something?

I typically would bet a little bit smaller here. I have to think him check/raising you means he has you beat.

If you had bet smaller on the flop, then his check/raise might mean he thinks you are FOS, which could be a mistake on his part.

Here, I don't think you have given him an opportunity to make that mistake. I'd fold.

Oh yeah. Just re-read that you are cash game player. I suppose your flop bet is typical for a cash game. In MTTs flop bets tend to be smaller around 1/2-3/4 the pot.

ur flop bet is def too big, i would bet like half pot, and as it is just fold to the c/r.
