KTs in BB: Bubbleboy or Tourney Leader Decision - Limit MTT

[Popped Rod]

We're down to 11 players (2 tables, 5/6 players) in a B&M Limit MTT. Tourney pays 9 places: $2900 for 1st and $280 for 9th. Buy-in was $140.

Blinds are 1000/2000, no antes. Avg stack is t20k

Relavent stacks and reads:

UTG ~t30k Very laggy, playing everyother hand. Just doubled up by sucking out a spade straight flush on the river against A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] with his 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and 4 spades on the board.

Button ~t24k No reads as he was moved to our table to balance out.

BB (Hero) ~t18k I normally play NLHE but wanted to work on my Limit game. I've been playing ABC but got caught stealing once by a LP shorty.

Hand in Question:

UTG 2 bets (t4k), folded to Button who flat calls, SB folds, and I call with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the BB.

Flop: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players, Pot t13k)

I check, UTG bets (t2k), Button calls, and I call.

Okay, I like this flop. I have OESD and draw to 2nd nut flush. Should I have led out or CR'ed. (If this was NL, I would have CR'ed all-in.)

Turn: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players, Pot t19k)

I bet (t4k), UTG calls, Button calls.

River: T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players, Pot t19k)

I don't like that T but I bet anyway (t4k), UTG 2 bets (t8k), Button 3 bets all-in (t12k), Hero....???

If I call, I'm all-in my last t4000. Main pot would be t43k.

Comments on all streets appreciated.

I probably should have folded PF but was getting good odds with my BB. Was this a clear fold?

after getting this far and getting these odds you can't fold here...one hand beats you and a lot of other can play it this way...I would have kept betting the flop til they stopped me!!

Limit is a game where you need to find folds occassinally to be profitable. However the only hand that beats you here is AK and it has to be AK slow played. You have to call.

Yep, you called it. I called, UTG called, and Button turned over AKo for broadway. As soon as Button 3-bet the river, I knew he had it. Afterwards, I thought I should have went with my read and folded. I could have folded into the money after my SB. But we should always be playing for first, right?

UTG had KQo, so we would have chopped.

Was PF call too loose? I had to call 1 bet for 5.5: odds with sooted paint.

more money needs to go in on the flop. I like a bet and if raised, 3 bet.

[Marduk]

yeah i haven't played limit in ages but it seems like a crime not to put in more bets on this flop.

[hamnegger]
