Default Some hands from the 100k guaranteed.

A couple of hands from the 100k 10 dollar:

1st hand: Utg is unknown this is his first hand. BB is a random donkey. Who leads out and for how much? If you lead out and get raised what is your plan (fold, call reval)? If you check whats your plan?

Hero (t5770)
BB (t6600)
UTG (t4655)
UTG+1 (t3265)
MP1 (t2475)
MP2 (t1750)
MP3 (t5190)
CO (t2325)
Button (t4515)

Preflop: Hero is SB with , .

Flop: (t450) , , [color=#0000FF](3 players)</font>
Hero ???

Second Hand.

Stack sizes are awkard. Fwiw pfr just lost a hand and might be on tilt. But in a vacuum who here likes flat calling with a limper and people behind? Who here likes reraising the raise if a) he is tilting. b) some random player.

Preflop: Hero is Button with , .

Hero???

Final hand.
Just got to this table a couple of hands ago. No real reads on limpers just that they seem to be nothing great. The previous hand I lost JJ vs AK. So people might perceive I am tilting. Is a push +ev here? Or is a call justified?

Bump. K guys if these hands suck at least let me know they suck. I would really like input on these even if they are too basic for some of you.

1) I would lead for about half the pot. I don't like to check here b/c i don't want to give a free card to a spade. I would call most raises b/c even if they have a str8 or flush, you've got outs to a FH.

2)call for set mining

3)your M is six, you have a pair = push

1. I pot flop &amp; get it in if he raises, Top 2 is still a big hand even on this board partly because people will play back with big draws your ahead of (and you have 4 outs to virtual nuts)
2. Fold, &gt;10% of your stack, not closing the action, can't setmine &amp; cant reraise here
3. Definitely calling&gt;folding. Shove with decent read on limpers otherwise UTG limp is too scary. Not sure exactly what the read was

I agree.

1. You are likley to get a lot of action off this flop, and you really dont want a spade to hit so bet pot or so. If someones got a made flush, and you dont hit your FH, never mind, it wasn't your tournament.

2, fold - Like he said, you're too deep to push, and you need much better implied odds than this to play for the ste.

3. I don't really like the push here, sure your M is 6, but that includes ante's, you have enough chips to have FE for a few rounds yet. UTG limp is dangerous too.

1. Fast play the flop. Pot the flop and push over any raise.
2. Fold no implied odds to set mine and not closing the action
3. I don't think I like the push. They both have contested this pot and they have you covered. I'd prefer to open push with first in vigorish. On this hand I'd rather just complete from the SB and see the flop.

Hand 1 for those that say basically pot and play for stacks. I am only a slight favorite against any random spade (A,K). And a huge dog against a made flush. Plus he limped utg his range is not that wide were he will felt with any random garbage in a limped pot. Please more discussion on this.

Hand 2 I basically think this is a fold. There are 3 people to act (blinds+limper) and raisers just doesn't have enough to set mine. I folded fwiw.

Hand 3 I think this is close due to utg's limp but not that close if only mp limps.

1. A made flush is only a tiny portion of his range. Your a significant favourite over a lone spade {and AsX may well play back at you) The pot is going to be a pretty big percentage of your stack after you pot it &amp; he calls {possibly with an additional raise}. You've surely got to be prepared to play for stacks here.

I am not a significant fav over a lone spade. Depending on what spade. If you give him a AsX KsX range (AJ-A8, KQ-K9) that limp utg. I am only a slight 55-45 fave thats not significant. Thats a race.
