i call... its early in the tourney so there is plenty of crazy players...

First Fold Pre flop.

Once you get to here you can call. He could have 33-99, A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] X [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. However he is also gonna show you A8, K8s, and 22 here a decent amount.

If you're going to play that crap UTG, at least raise with it. Now that you've flopped trips, bet and gotten raised, are you seriously considering folding? As played you must call and pray he doesn't have you outkicked. If not, he probably has at least 8 outs (the 7h is no good for him, obv).

Its a $10 tourney. Instacall and laugh at him slowplaying a big pp or cry when he hits his flush on the river.

As mentioned earlier if you are going to play this hand, you have to play it to the end if you flop huge.

I'm snap calling this here. Morons are plentiful in $10 tourneys. He probably has a PP or a flush draw. I think an 8 is a very small part of his range because most people are probably going to try and slowplay their 8.

Depending on how the table is playing I don't mind preflop so much. Usually I don't like to limp first in w/ a SC but I don't mind limping in second behind someone hoping to induce a limpfest behind me creating a nice multiway pot. Anyhow, if the table is playing passive preflop this limp is ok, if it's aggressive it's not I'm sure you know why.

If this was a rainbow flop this might be closer, but w/ twi hearts out there you have to call as there are a number of possible hands villain might be pushing here. Also most people still don't believe you when you lead a paired board w/ trips so he could have a PP here as well.

let me explain my logic for all plays.
1. limp: i like to play alot of flops w suited connectors, pocket pairs early bc there are players who pay off. (i will raise occasionally too here).the first hour is a game of implied odds in my opinion. yes my position is not real good but i feel i can handle these spots most of the time.

2. i have to call bc of the position of the opponent and of course the strength of my hand. what hands beat me ? a8s and 22. of course he showed ACE 8 OFFSUIT AND GOT ME but eh thats life. had he been a blind i may have thought much harder bc now my kicker loses alot

1st... I LOVE that you bet it.

2nd... I'm snap calling too.

3rd... who would fold at this table prf when everyone's allowed to limp?
